OXFORD Selectmen voted unanimously Thursday night to amend a revised marijuana ordinance, which puts no limits on the number of dispensaries and allows retail businesses, but prohibits social clubs.
A special board meeting was scheduled for 6 p.m. Feb. 24 to discuss the amendments, as well as proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to allow and regulate medical and adult-use marijuana facilities.
Selectmen also scheduled a special town meeting for 6 p.m. March 4 for residents to weigh on the issues. It will be held at the Oxford Elementary School on Pleasant Street.
The vote Thursday night followed a public hearing where more than a dozen residents and business owners spoke on the prohibition and repeal of adult-use marijuana and the proposed ordinance changes.

OXFORD Selectmen voted unanimously Thursday night to schedule a public hearing about a revised marijuana ordinance that puts no limits on the number of marijuana dispensaries and removes Oxford’s prohibition on retail marijuana businesses, but bars marijuana social clubs.
The decision by Chairman Scott Hunter, Vice Chairwoman Samantha Hewey, Caldwell Jackson, Sharon Jackson and Dana Dillingham came over objections that the committee who made the revisions included only town officials and that notice of the ordinance issue was not on the board’s agenda posted for the public.
Former board Chairman Peter Laverdiere and Roger Wulleman, who both served on the original Adult Use Marijuana Committee in 2017 and offered to serve on the second one last year, attended Thursday’s meeting.
