FALMOUTH – Falmouth town meeting members wasted no time Monday night in approving a ban on recreational marijuana sales in their community.

Cultivation and processing will also be prohibited. Only one person spoke against the article before it was swiftly approved by a large majority.

“I don’t see why the town should take itself out of what is a declared legal enterprise,” said town meeting member Richard Latimer.

A similar ban was approved at the ballot in May and the town meeting vote affirmed that action.

Falmouth voters also tried out some new technology Monday night, using electronic devices for quorum calls.

They will also be used for close votes in which the town clerk can’t determine clear majorities.
