FRYEBURG, Maine — The Fryeburg Planning Board is proposing to allow adult use medical marijuana in town. Residents will vote on that come June.
“Currently, we do not allow adult marijuana stores in town,” said Vice Chairman Ed Price at the board's April 6 meeting. “The proposed changes are to the Section 5 table that we would allow adult use marijuana retail stores in the general commercial area and the industrial zones of the town of Fryeburg.
