THE PROS AND CONS OF POT

Supervisors have heard a staff report on whether to ban or regulate marijuana businesses in incorporated county areas. Some of the rules being proposed would limit the number of dispensaries to 40 and tax all businesses.

Most speakers at Tuesday’s meeting supported regulations to reduce crime, but others said gangs run the dispensaries and legalizing pot would put it in kids’s hands.

Supervisors will make a final decision in October.
