tmpl –> The Board of Supervisors approved legislation requiring medical cannabis clubs to get city permits in late 2005. But initiating the law has been a complicated and controversial process. More than three years later the city has issued 10 permits to cannabis clubs and 13 more are in the pipeline according to the Department of Public Health. There are now 23 clubs in the city officials said as compared to more than 40 when the process began in 2005; five applications have been rejected and many others clubs apparently closed without bothering to apply for a permit. A number of medical marijuana advocates who had concerns when the legislation was introduced recently praised the program though they added that it is still a work in progress.

For the second year in a row the City Council shot down the idea of letting voters weigh in. Councilors voted 8 to 6 Monday night against putting an advisory referendum on the March 3 Town Meeting Day ballot. Ed Adrian proposed the initiative which would have asked voters if they want the city to urge lawmakers to examine the issue of decriminalizing marijuana. “I think it's clear that after 70 or 80 years of active law enforcement against marijuana and the fact that we have not been able to solve the problem over that time period speaks volumes and I think it speaks volumes in that it's at least time to start looking at something else” said Adrian. He garnered community support from several people who spoke at Monday's meeting. “In this time of economic downturn I think that we might be able to spend our time and our resources and our money fighting real crime against persons and property” said Nancy Lynch of the Vermont Alliance for Intelligent Drug Laws. Burlington Police Chief Michael Schirling testified against the measure.
