Pueblo Approves New Medical Marijuana Greenhouse

Pueblo County commissioners have approved a Denver medical marijuana dispensary to open a greenhouse in the east end of the county.

Pueblo is one of the few counties in the state that license medical pot greenhouses.

Many residents say they don’t want to create an export crop. “There were previous grow operations approved” said Commissioner Sal Pace. “This was not a dramatic shift in public policy.”

Pueblo County has approved nine local medical marijuana dispensary applications. Of those, a few included greenhouses, on- and off-site.
