It's unlikely anyone would accuse Jefferson County commissioners of rushing when it comes to deciding a marijuana policy, but one issue could be settled soon.
Commissioner Don Rosier, who represents the southern and mountainous parts of the county, recently proposed allowing testing facilities in unincorporated Jeffco – while waiting on other issues such as cultivation and retail sales – and would like to make a decision soon. Allowing the testing facilities would be a pilot project and Rosier said the commissioners could re-evaluate after a period of time.
Testing facilities test marijuana for such things as pesticides, fungi and the potency of edibles.
So why decide to allow testing facilities before retail sales or any other aspect that could generate tax revenue for the county?
