Windsor residents to be polled on medical-marijuana shops - The Denver Post

Windsor residents to be polled on medical-marijuana shops - The Denver Post

Windsor residents will be polled in April to find out if they want any more medical-marijuana dispensaries in the community.

The vote will be on the town's municipal ballot and is nonbinding. The Town Board, which voted for the question earlier this week, just wants to get a clear idea of the sentiment of residents, said Mayor John Vazquez.

"We're hoping the secrecy of the ballot will help us get a true gauge of how people really feel," Vazquez said.

The ballot question asks: "Unless and until there is a final judicial determination that such a prohibition would violate the Colorado Constitution, should the town board for the town of Windsor pass an ordinance prohibiting medical marijuana dispensaries within the


town's corporate limits?"
