The state law passed this summer legalizing recreational marijuana allows municipalities&nbsp;to decide, either through regulation changes or a referendum, if pot sales are allowed in a town or city.<\/p>\n<p>Petition drives<\/p>\n<p>Stacey Dolan, an administrator in the Southington Talks Facebook group, is working to collect the 3,146 signatures needed to put the question of recreational marijuana sales to voters on Election Day. State law requires a referendum on the issue if at least 10 percent of registered voters request one.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the Southington Democratic Town Committee called for a referendum on the question. The first signature drive was scheduled for Friday night at the&nbsp;Southington Drive-In, 995 Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike.&nbsp;A second signature collection event at the drive-in will be held on July 22 from 5 to 8 p.m.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to make this easy for residents to participate and accommodate people who may&nbsp;not be vaccinated or have concerns about COVID,\u201d Dolan said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at a council meeting earlier this week, Dolan said she wants all voters in town to have a voice in the decision. She supports a vote in favor of marijuana sales but believes residents on both sides will better accept the outcome if it is the result of a town-wide referendum.<\/p>\n<p>CBD stores owner sees growth<\/p>\n<p>Rob Anselmo opened Timeless CBD on North Main Street in 2015. CBD products,&nbsp;such as oils,&nbsp;deliver benefits of marijuana without the high, Anselmo said, but it wasn\u2019t until 2017 that consumer interest started to take off.<\/p>\n<p>Even though CBD products are legal, they\u2019re still linked in some people\u2019s minds with the illegal drug. Now that marijuana is legal, Anselmo expects big growth for the industry, which is what occurred in Massachusetts after that state legalized recreational marijuana.<\/p>\n<p>While Anselmo is hoping that Southington will allow recreational sales, he won\u2019t be selling cannabis products that produce a high.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll my customers have come forward, \u2018Are you going to turn into a dispensary? The answer is no,\u2019\u201d Anselmo said.<\/p>\n<p>He believes more people will be interested in the benefits of cannabis but most won\u2019t want the high that accompanies the recreational products. He didn\u2019t expect the numbers of those smoking marijuana to change much with legalization and didn\u2019t believe it was a cause for alarm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust because you have wine bottles in your cabinet, doesn\u2019t mean your kids are going to become alcoholics,\u201d Anselmo said.<\/p>\n<p>The Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to meet on Tuesday &nbsp;at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>jbuchanan@record-journal.com203-317-2230Twitter: @JBuchananRJ<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Advertisement<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"row contain-to-grid \" readability=\"9.6067415730337\">\n<p><span>With local school, politics and coronavirus news being more important now than ever, please help our newsroom deliver the coverage you deserve.
