Retail sales of marijuana and public on-site consumption will be allowed in Riverhead Town.
After more than three months of debate following the state legislation legalizing marijuana, the Riverhead Town Board voted against a resolution Wednesday to opt out. The resolution was rejected by a 3-2 vote.
Councilmen Tim Hubbard, Frank Beyrodt and Councilwoman Catherine Kent voted against the resolution. Councilman Ken Rothwell and Supervisor Yvette Aguiar voted in favor and to opt out.

He raised concerns about law enforcement’s ability to detect a driver impaired by marijuana, questioned whether the town would see revenue from the retail sales and said Riverhead should observe how neighboring towns handle it first.
