MARIJUANA DISPENSARY BAN COULD HURT PATIENTS

Marijuana dispensary ban could hurt patients FORT COLLINS - Opponents
of a Fort Collins November ballot measure that would ban medical
marijuana businesses in the city say it could hurt patients.

Two medical marijuana centers that operate just outside Fort Collins
city limits say they cannot handle a crush of new patients expected if
the measure is approved. County rules cap the number of patients they
may serve at 500.

If approved, the 20 licensed marijuana businesses in the city would
have 90 days to shut down.

Supporters of the ban say Fort Collins has become a sanctuary city for
marijuana use.
