Vail's temporary ban on retail marijuana could become permanent very soon. Although 2012's Amendment 64 legalized the recreational use of pot, towns and counties were still allowed to impose their own bans.
In the Vail Valley, retail operations were allowed in unincorporated Eagle County and the town of Eagle, but the Vail Town Council has never permitted recreational sales. Now, after the Vail Town Council passed yet another extension of a 2014 moratorium banning pot shops, the council will consider a permanent ban.
