The El Paso County Board of Public Health has officially come out against a ballot question that will ask Colorado Springs citizens to vote on allowing existing medical marijuana shops to sell recreational marijuana in city limits.
“This is a public health issue, and I think this is a stance we should be taking,” said El Paso County Commissioner and Board of Health member Longinos Gonzalez.
The Board of Health oversees the county’s public health department and is in charge of developing public health policies.
