NEWTON, N.H. (AP) — The town of Newton, New Hampshire, is the latest to consider a medical marijuana dispensary after the state passed a law allowing seriously ill residents to use marijuana to treat their illnesses.
The Eagle Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/1yw1mEI) Granite State Organics met with selectmen Monday to discuss its proposal to grow, process and dispense marijuana on a 46-acre site on Main Street.
Granite State Organics is scheduled to outline its proposal before selectmen on Tuesday.
New Hampshire has until the end of the month to select at least two "alternative treatment centers." At most, the state will license four centers divided among four geographical areas.
Similar proposals have been introduced in Littleton, Epping and Franklin.
