One of the biggest hurdles the Machias cannabis ordinance subcommittee is grappling with is just how a medical or adult-use/recreational marijuana storefront’s license can be transferred or acquired when it closes and still remain within the town’s five-shop cap.

Much of the group’s discussion at its Feb. 28 workshop centered around that question.  The subcommittee is composed of all five selectboard members and Town Manager Bill Kitchen.
