LUDLOW - Voters at Monday??s annual Town Meeting approved a bylaw which prohibits the consumption of marijuana in public places.

The new law, which was approved by a majority vote of those at the Town Meeting, is enforceable by a $300 fine.

Police Sgt. Louis E. Tulik advocated for passage of the law on the Town Meeting floor. Tulik said the law will prevent groups of people from having ??the audacity to smoke? in public places with the state decriminalization of possession of an ounce or less of marijuana.
