Last Monday, InMaricopa published an unofficial poll ahead of the next day’s consideration by city council of an ordinance on recreational marijuana.
We asked, “Should Maricopa have a recreational marijuana dispensary?”
Through 6 p.m. Sunday, 657 people voted. The total vote ran nearly 3-1 in support of a dispensary here for recreational marijuana, with 484 yes (73.7%) vs. 173 no (26.3%).
Before council’s meeting started Tuesday night, 190 people had voted, with 161 yes (84.7%) and 29 no (15.3%) votes.
On Tuesday night, the council voted, 6-1, to approve an ordinance requiring that any operator of a recreational marijuana dispensary must also be licensed for a medical marijuana dispensary, and both dispensaries must be operated in the city.
