WOODSTOCK Selectmen are considering a request for a recreational marijuana ordinance and whether the town should adopt the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code.
At a meeting this month, resident Chandler Simpkins asked the board to consider a recreational marijuana ordinance that would allow growing and wholesale selling, according to the meeting minutes. He operates a small farm and said he would like to have the opportunity to grow marijuana as a crop to complement his planned maple syrup, firewood/lumber and vegetable sales.
Earlier this year voters adopted a moratorium to allow time to develop an ordinance to guide development of marijuana facilities. A committee is preparing an ordinance for a vote at the March 2021 town meeting.
