COLORADO SPRINGS — Question 2D, which would ban recreational marijuana, failed outside the recount margin. The Campaign Against Recreational Cannabis tells me they won’t pay for a recount. This will make retail marijuana sales legal in Colorado Springs.

Below is a statement from the 2D campaign:

But the big debate now is Ballot Question 300, which says retail pot could be sold in medical dispensaries as long as they are 1,000 feet from schools or daycares.

But the city council, earlier this year, if you recall, preemptively passed a bill limiting recreational marijuana stores to within a mile of schools, daycares and rehab centers. This significantly limits where it can be sold even before the measure is passed. Some spoke of a de facto ban.

The city tells me it is reviewing both laws to determine whether one takes precedence over the other. They don’t have an answer right now, and they may not have one for a while. I haven’t been given a timetable, so I’ll have to keep an eye on that.
