Town of Watertown officials looking at ban on selling marijuana

WATERTOWN — Town Supervisor Joel R. Bartlett has started working on trying to keep pot dispensaries from opening up in the town.
He’s instructed Town Attorney Joseph W. Russell to draft a law that would ban the sale and distribution of marijuana in the town.
“It’s a gateway drug,” he said. “I don’t want pot shops and smoke shops opening up on all the corners in the town.”
He’s already had casual conversations with members of the Town Council about the issue.
The town’s local law will be patterned after other legislation put together by nearby municipalities such as Lewis County’s law, he said.
