BAR­TON — As the mar­ket has grown, sev­eral le­gal pot shops have opened up through­out the area.  Look­ing to cap­i­tal­ize on the traf­fic of con­sumers shop­ping for cannabis, two stores have taken it a step fur­ther.  Giv­ing cus­tomers some grub to en­joy on their trip to grab some weed, food trucks have ex­panded the menu to more than a choice se­lec­tion of flower.

While the idea of peo­ple con­sum­ing cannabis and get­ting the munchies is a nat­ural thought, state law does not al­low con­sump­tion of pot in pub­lic, so the shops and food trucks are mostly linked by own­er­ship and prox­im­ity.

Over the sum­mer, peo­ple pass­ing by on Route 5 have watched the con­struc­tion at a fondly re­mem­bered snack shack.  Once called the B&W, which some fondly re­fer to as bugs and worms, the es­tab­lish­ment sat empty for sev­eral years be­fore John Carter saw the per­fect op­por­tu­nity to re­vive the lo­ca­tion with his own dream.
