How unique community culture is in the Danbury area from one town to the next when it comes legal marijuana remains to be seen. But the picture could become clearer over the next five weeks, when Ridgefield and Southbury each hold public hearings about temporary bans on all cannabis establishments, and the discussion about a marijuana moratorium that has already begun in New Fairfield and New Milford heats up at public meetings.
Although Danbury’s moratorium doesn’t affect that dispensary’s relocation plans, it does bear on the dispensary’s interest in applying for a state hybrid license to also sell retail marijuana. The Compassionate Care Center of Bethel is moving to a two-story building on Danbury’s west side this fall under the new name, The Botanist.
