OUT, DAMNED POT!

Another municipality has blocked medical dispensaries for marijuana
by adopting a "moratorium."

On Jan. 7, the Henderson City Council voted to direct its staffers to
reject business license, building permit, or land use applications for
dispensaries in the next six months. Henderson is Nevada's second
largest community. State voters approved medical marijuana use 13
years ago, a policy choice that was stymied for more than a decade by
the Nevada Legislature's failure to provide for methods patients could
obtain the substance. When the legislators finally acted, local
governments became the problem.

Las Vegas has taken a similar stance to Henderson, while Clark County
is moving ahead with dispensaries ("Taking their time," RN&R, Jan. 2).
