San Pedro Valley News-Sun:  “With the Arizona Department of Health (ADHS) nearing the end of the study that will officially legalize medical marijuana by April, Arizona cities and counties are quickly working to approve zoning regulations.  The Benson City Council and Planning & Zoning Commission held a joint session last week, discussing how to move forward with regulating medical marijuana distribution and use inside city limits.”

San Pedro Valley News Sun:  “The City of Benson is taking a wait and see approach, as the state continues to sort out guidelines and code regulations for the medical marijuana measure passed by Arizona voters in November. . . . Luis Garcia, the city’s building official, said . . .  Benson . . . will wait to propose a set of regulations before the Planning and Zoning Commission, or the City Council.”
