Article XV: PUBLIC CONSUMPTION OF MARIJUANA OR TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL
No person shall smoke, ingest, or otherwise use or consume marijuana or tetrahydrocannabinol (as defined in G.L. c. 94C, § 1, as amended) while in or upon any street, sidewalk, public way, footway, passageway, stairs, bridge, park, playground, beach, recreation area, boat landing, public building, schoolhouse, school grounds, cemetery, parking lot, or any other area owned by or under the control of the Town; or in or upon any bus or other passenger conveyance operated by a common carrier; or in any place accessible to the public.

Any person smoking, ingesting or otherwise using or consuming marijuana or tetrahydrocannabinol in violation of Section 1 of this bylaw shall provide to a police officer so requesting personal identifying information, including their full legal name and address. Failure to provide such identifying information upon request, or provision of false, incorrect or otherwise invalid identifying information, shall be considered a separate violation of this bylaw, and any fine imposed shall be in addition to that imposed for violation of the first paragraph of this bylaw.

This by-law may be enforced through any lawful means and in law or in equity including, but not limited to, non-criminal disposition pursuant to G.L. c. 40, § 21D, by the Board of Selectmen, the Town Administrator, or their duly authorized agents, or any police officer. The fine for violation of either the first or second paragraph of this by-law shall be fifty dollars ($50) for each offense.

Any penalty imposed under this by-law shall be in addition to any civil penalty imposed under G.L. c. 94C, § 32L.

In case any section, paragraph or part of this bylaw is for any reason declared invalid or unconstitutional by any court, every other section, paragraph and part shall continue in full force and effect.
