On Tuesday, just shy of a year after retail marijuana hit the market, the ski town of Breckenridge Colorado held a nonbinding, advisory election on whether to change or uphold an ordinance banning retail dispensaries downtown. And guess what? Breckenridge residents voted more than two to one to ban ‘em—925 votes against and 400 votes for. Sure this isn’t set in stone just , but the anti-marijuana sentiment will likely influence the council’s final decision. From the Summitdaily:
“I believe in voting because it’s an important concept,” said Keith Wingate-Keefers, a Breckenridge resident of 38 years who voted for retail marijuana. “Breck has been the spearhead on the marijuana issue since it began, so there’s no reason to back down now.”
At the moment, Breckenridge has issued 14 marijuana licenses. The licenses, spread among five business — including Breckenridge Cannabis Club, the only dispensary currently on Main Street — cover retail and medical sales, cultivation and product manufacturing.
The earliest that the town council can decide on the ordinance is the next regular meeting on Jan. 13.
