Colorado passed Amendment 20 legalizing the cultivation, possession, and consumtion of marijuana for private medical use. Colorado House Bill 1284, legalized the dispensary model statewide, yet left an option for municipalities to ban outright all commercial medical marijuana grow centers and dispensaries.
Medical marijuana centers provide a safe and easily accessible location for patients with a debilitating medical condition to obtain their medication for personal use. The Grand Junction City Council decided to not place this issue on the city ballot, and to vote within the council. The council has also publicly announced their ambition to place an outright ban on medical marijuana centers and dispensaries with in the city limits of Grand Junction, CO.
Banning these facilities would reduce jobs, endanger patients and cultivators, and reduce city sales tax revenue.
We, the undersigned, call on the Grand Junction City Council to take no action towards the complete ban of medical marijuana dispensaries and wellness centers within the city limits of Grand Junction, Colorado.
