CONO position on Medicinal Marijuana Dispensaries:! We support the constitutionally-guaranteed right of patients to use marijuana for medicinal purposes. We oppose exempting any industry or agricultural enterprise from existing land-use regulations and procedures. We strongly encourage city and county regulations regarding medicinal marijuana dispensaries to be as similar as possible. Particularly for issues that are controversial and divisive, we support full public debate and discussion, including the placement of such issues on the ballot.
