Local Zoning Control of Marijuana in Question

Marijuana may be coming to a plot next door and your local city or county may not have a single thing to say about it.

The House Human Service spent most of Tuesday morning receiving testimony, pro and con, for the bill to provide an enhanced regulatory structure for the production and sale of medical marijuana. Generally the bill reduces the number of sites and improves the state's regulatory control over who can operate and where these sites can be located.

However, some committee members want state preemption of local zoning regulations, giving local elected governing boards no say on where in town the distribution center is located, and the county no say on where the marijuana is grown.

Your city and county association representatives are working to preserve local zoning control of this new industry and we urge all local officials to carry this message to your representatives.
