The police were due at 9 p.m., and a small fortune in medical marijuana was turned into mulch, mixed with potting soil and readied for the landfill, when a shredder churned at Dacono Meds.

The ban was on.

“I have until 7 p.m. to get rid of this,” said owner Brad Henson. “The police will come out at 9 p.m. to check.”

That’s because of a citywide dispensary ban that locked into place after the close of business Monday night. Dacono now allows no marijuana-related businesses in town. No dispensaries. No grow operations. Nothing.

Whether it stays that way remains to be seen.

On Wednesday night, the Dacono City Council will take up a ballot issue that proposes striking down the ban. The council has two options: Either rescind the ban itself, or schedule an election so Dacono residents can decide whether the dispensaries should reopen their doors.
