MEDICAL POT FARMS NEED SOLID OVERSIGHT
Neighbors of the Szymanski Farm north of Longmont aren't happy about
the possibility the farm could in the future become home to a medical
marijuana growing operation. That's understandable.
Boulder County commissioners in early June restricted businesses that
sell, grow or distribute medical marijuana to commercial, industrial
and transitional zoning districts. That ruled out cultivating the
plant on agricultural land in the county.
But before that vote, one property owner and one prospective property
owner applied for permission for grow operations on ag lands. The
prospective owner of the Szymanski Farm, a city councilman in Laramie,
Wyo., says he doesn't have plans to grow medical marijuana on the
farm, but he wants to have the right to, which he says would protect
his potential investment by having the land available for that use.
