Boston Globe 1/30/13: Local efforts to restrict medical marijuana spark legal questions. Many area communities are mobilizing in response to the state’s new medical marijuana law — proposing bans on distribution centers, prohibitions against home-growing, stiffer fines for using pot in public, or moratoriums. But it remains unclear whether attempts to restrict a measure approved by voters statewide will pass legal muster. Among the towns pondering some kind of response to the new state law are Acton, Dover, Framingham, Needham, Wayland, Wellesley, and Westborough.
