Phippsburg to decide whether to allow recreational pot stores at town meeting Residents will also decide whether to allow recreational marijuana cultivation, manufacturing and testing. Share Phippsburg voters will choose whether to allow recreational marijuana retail, manufacturing, testing and cultivation establishments at the annual town meeting on June 12.

The planning board is neutral and we tried to come up with ordinances that would allow what the state allows.”
