Well... being a small town boy, I'll take the unpopular position: I think it's great that towns will be able to license, control and/or ban dispensaries all together. Local zoning and licensing is the only thing that keeps my city (and the West slope) from turning into a salted, paved, polluted three hundred mile long strip mall. I'm GLAD my city is able to regulate and tax local businesses, and glad this bill confirms us in that role. To my mind, the local option is one of the positive elements of the bill that should be weighed against the rest.
