WAREHAM — Verilife will start selling recreational marijuana Friday at its 112 Main St. location, according to a news release from Wareham police.

To keep traffic moving, the town will put the following regulations in place, according to police.

* Anyone going to the store is required to park at the Water Wizz, 3031 Cranberry Highway, Wareham.

* At Water Wizz, customers will be provided a ticket and shuttle service to Verilife. No individuals will be allowed in the business without a ticket, and tickets can only be obtained at the Water Wizz parking area.

* The parking lot will be open for vehicles at 8 a.m.

* No walk-up business will be allowed at the Main Street location. You must go to Water Wizz and use the shuttle service.

* No parking will be allowed at Besse Park.

These regulations will remain in effect until further notice, police said. Authorities are expecting up to 2,000 customers. The waiting line will not exceed two hours, officials said.

Verilife will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday. The store will be closed Dec. 24 and 25, police said.

After the recreational side opens, medical marijuana patrons bearing their medical ID cards will continue to get favored treatment with parking (13 spots) right next to the white pillared neoclassical building. Verilife also offers delivery services for medical marijuana patients.

The Cannabis Control Commission on Monday issued a notice authorizing Verilife to begin selling non-medical marijuana to adults 21 or older and to open as early as Friday. It secured its provisional retail license from the CCC on Aug. 9, and the facility was inspected by the CCC on Oct. 9.

The public is reminded that public consumption of marijuana is illegal and the Wareham Police Department will have zero tolerance for any violations of this, police said.
