Colorado Springs residents could see competing recreational marijuana ballot questions in November.
The Colorado Springs City Council voted 8 to 1 to send a question to the ballot that would ban recreational marijuana stores in the city’s charter. A charter amendment would trump a city ordinance.
The vote followed extensive public testimony that touched on the potential harms of marijuana, the benefits of expanding sales in town and letting voters decide how to regulate marijuana.
