It was a resounding yes from marin county voters to legalize recreational pot. But county officials are saying not so fast. Emily turner explains why theres now talk of a pot ban. Emily. Reporter yeah, its an interesting move. Especially when you consider the fact that marin county voters here overwhelmingly voted in favor of prop 64. 70 in fact. And yet, marin county is saying no. Possibly. And so are other cities in california. It passed with 57 of the states vote. Before Recreational Marijuana everyone has a chance in marin county it could become illegal and that the county says is exactly the point. Marin voted unanimously in favor of prop 24. I think theres a lotted of problems when you want to bring that state law into the state level. Reporter which wont happen without a ban. Come january 1st, if the city or county hasnt told the state no, recreational pot advocates will get a yes from the state regardless of local zoning. Thats why the league of california cities has urged all municipalities to pass a ban or something similar until they can decide how to handle it. Many cities have followed suit but many dont agree. I think its absurd. Basically the county voted for it. Its legal in a number of states it will probably be legal in more states in the future. 10s of millions of people are using it every day. While voters might agree with prop 64 in theory. Marin says folks arent quite to the minimal when it comes to a dispensary lobbing down in their backyard.
