Stamford zoning officials mull medical marijuana sites
STAMFORD — Stamford zoning officials are considering whether to establish medical marijuana factories and dispensaries in some neighborhoods.
The Stamford Advocate reports the Zoning Board has begun crafting a proposal to allow the facilities in some parts of Stamford.
New regulations are still a ways off, with a public hearing likely in a month or two.
Factories and dispensaries must apply to the state Department of Consumer Protection for operating permits.
The General Assembly legalized medical marijuana in 2012. The first dispensary in the state opened in South Windsor in August. The state consumer protection agency says six dispensaries and four factories operate in Connecticut.
Thousands of Connecticut residents have registered as patients to use palliative marijuana, including 716 in Fairfield County.
