JEFFERSON COUNTY — The
Jefferson County Task Force on Marijuana
is recommending that the Board of Commissioners not allow any marijuana businesses in unincorporated Jeffco, but the commissioners want more time to study the issue.
The volunteer task force released its 134-page report and presented it to the board Tuesday. The recommendation read that the licensing of marijuana establishments is "not consistent with the safety, health and welfare of the citizens of Jefferson County."
Jefferson County placed a moratorium on marijuana businesses in July 2013 after the
passage of Amendment 64 in November 2012
. That moratorium is set to expire Feb. 1, 2015 unless more action is taken. The county also voted in April to prohibit marijuana clubs and to limit cultivation.
"I don't have enough data to make a decision," Commissioner Don Rosier said as the meeting wrapped up Tuesday.
