NORML.ORG US CO: County Bans Medical Marijuana

21 Dec 2010

Colorado
-------
The Prowers County Commission unanimously passed a resolution prohibiting the operation of medical marijuana facilities in the county.

"It is unlawful for any person to operate, cause to be operated, or permit to be operated a medical marijuana center, optional premises cultivation operation or facilities for which a medical marijuana-infused products manufacturers license could otherwise be obtained within the unincorporated portion of Prowers County and all such uses are hearby prohibited in any location in the unincorporated portion of Prowers County," the resolution stated.

Prowers County Sheriff Jim Faull asked if it applied to someone who is growing marijuana for use by others.

County Attorney John Lefferdink said the law applies to everything except private use, telling Faull the county has prohibited the use of medical marijuana to the maximum of state standards.

The resolution is effective immediately upon signing, Lefferdink told the commissioners.

The resolution was signed at the County Commission meeting on Dec. 16.

The decision to ban the medical marijuana was made by the board because of the cost it would have incurred to place it on the ballot for a vote, Commissioner Gene Millbrand said.

The approximate cost would have been $20,000 and a previous vote had gone significantly against allowing the use of medical marijuana in Prowers County.

"It seemed frivolous to spend that extra money to put the ballot before the voters again," Millbrand said.
