The Herald, 18 Dec 2012 – Everett voters approved marijuana legalization by a healthy margin last month, but now it’s December and the City Council is about to do something that will make all those voters quite unhappy. Council is set to enact a so-called "nuisance ordinance" that would so drastically limit where medical cannabis collective gardens might locate that it would create an effective ban on safe access for patients in the city. It would also likely ban any Everett marijuana retail locations for recreational users that the State Liquor Board might wish to license when it begins to issue licenses for those in about one year. Many thousands of Everett voters will find council’s action a nuisance, but, rest assured, black market pot dealers will be thrilled.
