Moratorium Reportedly Considered On Marijuana Sales In Shelton

SHELTON, CT — The Planning and Zoning Commission is considering a moratorium on store sales of recreational marijuana in Shelton, the Shelton Herald reported.

Adults are allowed to legally possess small amounts of pot in Connecticut, after the state made it legal last year. But commercial sales of marijuana are not expected to begin until a few months from now.

The P&Z is drafting a moratorium on businesses setting up stores to sell weed until the city comes up with a plan and regulations, a move that other communities have adopted.

How long the moratorium will be in effect, if adopted, has not yet been determined.
