1ST COLORADO CITY BANS POT SHOPS

SUPERIOR - The Boulder County town of Superior is the first in
Colorado to ban medical marijuana shops after a state law last week
allowed such actions.

Superior town council members voted 6-0 Monday to ban dispensaries.
Other towns, including Vail, are moving quickly toward banning
marijuana dispensaries.

Gov. Bill Ritter signed a law last week that allows cities to ban
marijuana shops, or make moratoriums permanent. Before that, many
cities banned pot shops through moratoriums or by denying business
licenses, but state law was silent on whether that was permitted.

Medical marijuana advocates have vowed to challenge local dispensary
bans in court.
