RAINTREE - Retail sales of recreational marijuana will remain prohibited, but bans on other sectors of the marijuana industry have been lifted under a revised town ordinance.
On a 6-3 vote at a recent meeting, the town council approved the ordinance as the latest in a series of measures that apply to the marijuana industry. Nicole Taub, chief of staff to Mayor Charles Kokoros, said the new ordinance "will continue to prohibit the sale of nonmedical marijuana."
Medical marijuana is not subject to local regulation.
Kokoros wrote in a memo to the council that the purpose of the measure is to remove the conflict with a zoning ordinance approved Aug. 2 that allows marijuana cultivation and processing in the town's highway business district.
