Larimer County Nixes Medical Pot Delivery Business

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - Larimer County won't get a medical marijuana delivery service anytime soon.

The Coloradoan in Fort Collins reports the county commissioners Monday denied an application from Caring Touch Network to establish a medical marijuana grow and delivery service just outside Fort Collins' city limits.

The county planning commission and staff recommended denial of the application, saying the business would be incompatible with the neighborhood.

The decision marks the end of Larimer County's review of applications for medical marijuana businesses. The commissioners voted last year to ban the businesses but agreed to consider applications already in the system.

Colorado voters in 2000 approved medical uses of marijuana. State regulations passed last year give communities the power to regulate medical marijuana centers or prohibit them.
