Colorado Springs Residents to Continue Voting on Recreational Marijuana
A district judge has issued a ruling that will prevent voters in Colorado Springs from deciding on the legality of recreational marijuana in the city’s April election. The decision comes after a long-standing debate on the issue.
The ruling means that recreational marijuana will remain legal in Colorado Springs, as it has been since the state legalized it in 2012. However, the city’s residents will not have the opportunity to weigh in on the issue through a ballot measure.
The decision is likely to be met with mixed reactions from the community, with some residents potentially feeling that their voices have been silenced on the issue. Others may be relieved that the matter has been settled and that recreational marijuana will continue to be legal in the city.
Regardless of the reaction, the ruling is a significant development in the ongoing debate over recreational marijuana in Colorado Springs. The city’s residents will continue to be able to legally purchase and consume recreational marijuana, but the decision has taken the issue off the ballot for the time being.
