12 Applications For Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in Norfolk County

Massachusetts released a list of 181 groups that have applied to operate medical marijuana dispensaries. 

12 of those groups want dispensaries in Norfolk County, which includes Sharon and 27 other towns. A maximum of 35 total licenses are allowed under a law voters approved in November legalizing medical marijuana.

While towns cannot outright ban medical marijuana dispensaries, some are exploring zoning restrictions or have ordered moratoriums, according to the Boston Globe.   

At the Walpole Town Meeting in June, a one-year moratorium on the placement and construction of a medical marijuana dispensary in town was approved by voters.
