Colorado Springs rejected recreational pot sales in the election, but two nearby towns approved recreational dispensaries, and a marijuana sales proposal in Grand Lake is currently too close to call.
Colorado voters approved recreational marijuana ten years ago, and the plant still finds a way into elections.While, two small towns near Colorado Springs approved recreational marijuana sales and a proposal to allow recreational sales in Grand Lake is currently too close to call.
In addition to initiatives regarding the sale of recreational marijuana, other measures focused on establishing or raising marijuana taxes. Lamar, a small town in southeastern Colorado contemplated not just prohibiting pot shops, but punishing people involved with marijuana.Palmer Lake Voters in this town went in the other direction from residents of Colorado Springs, fewer than thirty minutes to the south; they approved an ordinance that will allow up to two already-existing medical marijuana establishments to offer recreational sales.
A separate ballot question proposing a 15 percent sales tax on recreational marijuana is further ahead, while another question that would create a 15 percent sales tax on medical marijuana is down by nine votes. According to the language of the measure proposing commercial marijuana, permitting such businesses is"subject to and expressly contingent upon" taxation approval, but the language doesn't specify if both tax measures must pass.
Marijuana proponents scored a win in the latest election, but they were on the defensive this time. Ballot Question 300 proposed banning any marijuana businesses from opening in Lamar, and also would have penalized anyone of age who"possesses, displays, purchases, transports, transfers, stores, warehouses, cultivates, sells or distributes to another, more than one ounce of marijuana for personal use," as well as prohibiting anyone under the age of 21 from the same actions.
