Castle Rock & Grand Junction Ban MMJ Dispensaries

Castle Rock residents Tuesday voted against allowing medical-marijuana dispensaries to operate in the town.

The vote means that Plans 4 Life, the only dispensary in the city, will have to close by April 15. The Town Council last year voted in favor of banning dispensaries in the town, and Tuesday's vote upheld that decision.

Elsewhere in Colorado:

• A measure to ban marijuana dispensaries also passed in Grand Junction, receiving more than 56 percent of the vote.
