‘Tornado of misinformation’ spawns bill limiting county authority over cannabis

An effort by some counties to use zoning to limit if not prevent the opening of cannabis dispensaries has drawn the ire of the chair of a House committee. House and Senate committees are considering legislation that would make it tougher for local governments to restrict where cannabis dispensaries can locate. House Economic Matters Committee Chair Del. C.T. Wilson (D-Charles) said counties are trying to countermand the newly legalized cannabis market and the state’s efforts to limit if not end illegal sales.
