Sixteen people attended a public hearing to gather feedback on an ordinance that, if adopted by Machias voters, would govern sales of adult use marijuana. The meeting took place on Thursday, Oct. 24.

Chairman Joshua Rolfe said the Machias Board of Selectmen convened the hearing to gather feedback on three specific questions: should the town limit the number of adult use marijuana shops, should the town limit where shops can locate, and how much to charge for permit fees.
