GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — Following a public hearing in which numerous people spoke on both sides of the medical marijuana center issue, City Council voted 6 to 1 to pass an ordinance prohibiting the operation of medical marijuana businesses in Grand Junction.

Mayor Teresa Coons cast the dissenting vote.

The decision will amend the Grand Junction Municipal Code by the addition of a new section prohibiting general uses relating to marijuana. The ban will become effective on Jan. 1, 2011.
