Moving forward, the town of Milo will have one license for a adult-use cannabis business and another for a medical cannabis establishment per the cannabis licensing establishment ordinance. Ordinance amendments were approved at a special town meeting on Monday evening.
"Essentially the major change on this is that right now our ordinance calls for two adult-use and we are changing that to be one adult-use and one medical," Select Chair Paula Copeland said.
There are two types of cannabis businesses and adult-use cannot sell medical products and medical cannabis stores can only sell a limited number of adult-use products so the select board felt a change was needed, Copeland said. "As anything when it's new, the changes come fast and furious in the beginning."
The town currently has GreenLife Milo on Park Street and no medical cannabis establishments – Milo had previously never voted to opt in for medical. Another adult-use business is in the process of gaining its state license and if granted it would be grandfathered as the application was submitted prior to the ordinance amendment.
