The Great Barrington Select Board has given the thumbs up to a medical marijuana dispensary in town.The board this week unanimously voted in favor of plans from Theory Wellness Inc. to build and open a medical marijuana dispensary on Stockbridge Rd. Select Chair Sean Stanton says town voters support medical marijuana.

“On the statewide ballot initiative Great Barrington voted 70 percent in favor of medical marijuana facilities being allowed in Massachusetts,” said Stanton.

The company still needs to get approval from the state. Medical marijuana dispensaries are being pursued elsewhere in Berkshire County including in Pittsfield. The town of Adams is considering a medical marijuana bylaw.
