Last month, we reported about a Colorado marijuana fact-finding mission involving officials from Indio, California. Their tour featured plenty of input from local law-enforcement reps who emphasized problems with legal cannabis — and afterward, Indio's city council authored a proposal to ban medical marijuana there.
