MONROE — You can’t legally buy cannabis in Monroe.

-snip-

Cannabis company Origins, which owns two licenses to operate in Monroe, is pushing the city to revoke its ban.

In June, the City Council voted 5-1 against taking the question to residents, citing safety and constitutional concerns. Origins leadership said these arguments were not based in facts. The company is now eyeing a citizen-led initiative.

Origins tasked polling firm GMA Research with surveying residents, the company’s Compliance Director Morgan Sokol said. Results showed 63% of adult respondents supported the city allowing cannabis retailers and 59% felt positive about having a store in Monroe.
