Colorado Springs Finally Clears The Air: Legal Cannabis Sales Approved Though Issues Linger
Colorado Springs voters have definitively legalized recreational marijuana sales, overturning a decade-long prohibition in the state’s second-largest city.
According to the final recount – although still unofficial – results from the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder’s Office, Ballot Question 300, permitting adult-use sales, passed with 54.7% approval, while Question 2D, a competing measure to permanently ban such sales, failed narrowly at 50.6%. So, it seems the dust has settled and cannabis advocates can now celebrate their victory.
As a result, roughly 90 medical marijuana dispensaries will be able to now sell to everyone.
