The Harwich Board of Health voted on June 16, 2026 to adopt revised regulations prohibiting the manufacturing, sale and distribution of certain synthetically and naturally derived cannabinoid products as presented.
Board members discussed language changes recommended by the police chief and Detective Bracket and removed language that would have named police officers as acting agents for enforcement. The board also removed cannabis from the text on the grounds that cannabis oil is already regulated separately.
A member moved “that we accept the prohibiting the manufacturing, sale, and distribution of a naturally and synthetically derived cradle as presented.” The motion was seconded and the board recorded a voice vote in favor. The transcript records that two members (Janet and Ron) had not participated in prior discussions and would not vote unless they watched the prior meeting video; the three members present proceeded and recorded affirmative vocal votes. Individual voter names were not specified in the record.
The board’s public record will reflect the adopted language and the fact that police were consulted but are not named as acting enforcement agents in this local regulation.
