Color-Seal-250x250

The Town of Southampton is considering legislation related to the New York State Marihuana (Marijuana) Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA).. On March 31, the Governor signed legislation legalizing marijuana throughout the state. However, regulation of its retail sale and use at business establishments, such as cafes and lounges, was left to the discretion of local municipalities.

After discussions at their May 6 work session, Southampton Town Board members decided to issue an online survey to gather feedback and gauge public support for the sale and onsite use of recreational marijuana at designated locations within the Town. The survey will not ask about cannabis products bought and sold for medicinal purposes. 

“The Town Board wants to better understand community opinion on this issue before deciding how best to proceed,” said Supervisor Jay Schneiderman. 

The survey will be available on the Town’s website, in both English and Spanish, through July 2 and will seek your opinion to better inform town policies going forward. It takes approximately two minutes to complete from any computer, tablet, or smart phone.

El Ayuntamiento de Southampton está considerando legislación relacionada con la Ley de Regulación e Impuestos sobre la Marihuana del Estado de Nueva York (MRTA por sus siglas en inglés). El 31 de marzo, el gobernador firmó una ley que legaliza la marihuana en todo el Estado. Sin embargo, la regulación de su venta al por menor y su uso en establecimientos comerciales, como cafés y salones, se dejó a la discreción de los municipios locales. 

Después de las discusiones en su sesión de trabajo del 6 de mayo, los concejales de Southampton decidieron emitir una encuesta en línea para recopilar comentarios y evaluar el apoyo público para la venta y el uso recreativo de marihuana en lugares designados dentro del Ayuntamiento. La encuesta no preguntará sobre productos de cannabis comprados y vendidos con fines medicinales. 

“El Town Board quiere comprender mejor la opinión de la comunidad sobre este tema antes de decidir cuál es la mejor manera de proceder”, dijo el Supervisor Jay Schneiderman. 

La encuesta estará disponible en el sitio web del Ayuntmiento, tanto en inglés como en español, hasta el 2 de julio y buscará su opinión para informar mejor las políticas del Ayuntmiento en el futuro. Se tarda aproximadamente dos minutos en completarlo desde cualquier ordenador, tablet, o móvil.
