TOWN OF STARKS MORATORIUM ORDINANCE REGARDING MEDICAL MARIJUANA RETAIL STORES, DISPENSARIES, TESTING FACILITIES, AND MANUFACTURING FACILITIES' TOWN OF STARKS MORATORIUM ORDINANCE REGARDING MEDICAL MARIJUANA RETAIL STORES, DISPENSARIES, TESTING FACILITIES, AND MANUFACTURING FACILITIES' The Town of Starks Board of Selectmen voted to propose the attached "Town of Starks Moratorium Ordinance Regarding Medical Marijuana Retail Stores, Dispensaries, Testing Facilities, and Manufacturing Facilities," at their regular Selectmen's Meeting on September 17, 2018. This Ordinance is attached. This vote was taken upon the advice of the Maine Municipal Association and the Town of Starks Planning Board in order to give the Town adequate time to consider allowing and regulating medical marijuana retail stores,registered dispensaries, testing facilities, and manufacturing facilities. This Ordinance does not limit lawful, personal use of adult-use marijuana (recreational use) or personal use of medical marijuana by registered patients, or registered medical marijuana caregivers as defined and regulated in state law. It only applies to Medical Marijuana Retail Stores, Dispensaries, Testing Facilities, and Manufacturing Facilities, as defined in state statue. The new state laws require Towns to adopt ordinances to allow both adult use (recreational), and medical marijuana establishments (defined above). A loop-hole in the Medical Marijuana legislation makes it uncertain what is allowed between now and the law's effective date several months from now, which is why this Moratorium is being proposed. The Moratorium is a temporary ban on these uses until the Town makes a decision how to proceed. With these laws and rules being so new, there is a lot of confusion at the state and local level on how to implement them. A Public Hearing on this Ordinance is scheduled for Monday, October 22nd at 7:00 p.m. The Vote on the Ordinance will take place as a ballot referendum vote at the general election on Tuesday, November 6th. The warrant article question will be "Shall an ordinance entitled 'Town of Starks Moratorium Ordinance Regarding Medical Marijuana Retail Stores, Dispensaries, Testing Facilities, and Manufacturing Facilities be enacted?"
