Sitka’s Marijuana Advisory Committee has approved a proposed resolution supporting a smaller buffer zone between marijuana businesses and schools than required under state regulations.
The Daily Sitka Sentinel reports committee members agreed Monday to consider the draft again next week before sending it to the Sitka Assembly.
The resolution calls for marijuana businesses to be at least 200 feet away from churches, schools and youth
