WAREHAM - A one-year moratorium on social cannabis cafes, a subject still being weighed at the Massachusetts State House, was recommended for approval by the Board of Selectmen Tuesday night for fall Town Meeting.

"I am all for a moratorium," said Wareham Board of Selectmen Patrick Tropeano. The board agreed with Tropeano unanimously.

The moratorium recommended by BOS for Town Meeting voters will allow the town "to buy time while we determine if and when and how we want to incorporate social cafes into our zoning,” said Planning Director Ken Buckland.

Another topic coming before voters in many communities around the state was put on by citizens’ petition - a plastic bag ban. Wareham resident Donna White said she is not recommending a full ban, but plastic bags at supermarkets and retail stores should be recyclable or biodegradable. The board did not vote on the citizen's petition.
