Voters Losing Appetite for Medical Marijuana?

Denver Post Editorial
Source: Denver Post
Colorado -- At first glance, it might seem surprising that a place like Fort Collins would be contemplating a ban on medical marijuana dispensaries. It is a college town, after all, and while not as liberal as, say, Boulder, it still is a place that you might think would tolerate dispensaries.The fact that more than 7,000 citizens signed a petition supporting a prohibition of dispensaries sends a cautionary message. Those who have perceived state- approved regulations on dispensaries to be a green light for widespread development had better think again.
As of this spring, some 75 Colorado towns, either by council or voter action, have banned retail outlets for the sale of medical marijuana and in some cases cultivation and manufacturing of edible products.Another fact that is becoming increasingly apparent is that dispensaries are being concentrated in a handful of cities, including Denver, Boulder and some mountain towns.Though these businesses may seem comfortably ensconced in these towns, there is nothing to stop voters from going to the polls to ban them.In Fort Collins, where voters will take a crack at banning dispensaries in November, there has been plenty of community outrage over the city's 21 licensed locations.

Cab at 81!
Wow! He still had the great voice and all the moves -- a little moonwalk too! Could he have performed like that if he had chosen a different relaxant than reefer?A true gentleman, god bless him!

Thanks for the insight. It certainly puts the 'cautionary message' in proper perspective!

and then they woke up....
>>>The fact that more than 7,000 citizens signed a petition supporting a prohibition of dispensaries sends a cautionary message. Those who have perceived state- approved regulations on dispensaries to be a green light for widespread development had better think again. The 2010 Census showed the population of Fort Collins to be 143,986.7,000 is just about 5% of 143,986. 20% of the population opposes all medical cannabis access and use. And we're supposed to be surprised?The only surprise here is in the Denver Post's dream about a cannabis-free future. It doesn't exist!
