Unalaska, Alaska set to ban commercial marijuana sales

Today, I learned of place called Unalaska, Alaska, unfortunately it wasn’t for good reason.

By a narrow 4-3 vote and with the mayor breaking the tie, the Unalaska City Council last week took its first step towards banning local sales and commercial growing, testing, and manufacturing of marijuana products.

Opt out is a cop-out on the voters,” said Jerry Swihart, a city worker, who said local residents voted heavily in favor of legalization in 2014.

The new ordinance still requires another vote for passage, which is set for the Feb. 9 council meeting.
