A medical marijuana dispensary is being proposed in Plymouth.

Sanctuary ATC of Salem filed the application with the town, which will be the subject of an Aug. 17 public hearing at Plymouth Town Hall.

Under the state’s medical marijuana law passed in 2013, local zoning approval is required before opening up shop.

New Hampshire was the last New England state to legalize medical marijuana, and there have been delays in implementing the law.

The Plymouth dispensary would be the northernmost of the four slated to open in the state next year.

Each patient will be able to possess up to two ounces.

Another dispensary has been proposed for a business park in Lebanon.
