Massachusetts released a list of 181 groups that have applied to operate medical marijuana dispensaries.
12 of those groups want dispensaries in Norfolk County, which includes Sharon and 27 other towns. A maximum of 35 total licenses are allowed under a law voters approved in November legalizing medical marijuana.
While towns cannot outright ban medical marijuana dispensaries, some are exploring zoning restrictions or have ordered moratoriums, according to the Boston Globe.
What do you think Sharon should do? Would you like a see a medical marijuana dispensary in Sharon or do you think the town should try to block it? Let us know in in the comments below!
