Windsor residents reject recreational pot in mail-in vote
WINDSOR — Residents will continue to have to shop outside of town limits if they want to purchase recreational marijuana.
Voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly rejected a citizen-initiated referendum to allow cultivation, testing, manufacturing and retail sales of marijuana in town, 71% to 29%. In total, 4,908 voters rejected the measure, while 1,993 residents voted in favor.
Recreational marijuana has been banned in Windsor for a little more than a decade. The town received a citizen’s initiative petition last August with 1,926 valid signatures.
This election, however, was not just about marijuana. The town board forwarded eight charter amendments to the ballot. The measures and their results, according to the town’s website were:
