A medical marijuana dispensary has opened it's doors in Elizabeth. Located on East Kiowa Avenue in the Town of Elizabeth Alpine Medical LLC opened their doors last week.
How could this happen when there is a county-wide moratorium in place? According to Darryl Sperry, co-owner of Alpine Medical, the company received their license from the town prior to the moratorium being in place. Since then, they have been involved in construction and renovation of the space they have leased and just opened their doors last week. Mr. Sperry said their mission is to "provide for the patients in Elbert County who would otherwise have to drive to Denver to get their medication". He went on to say that Alpine Medical will only take on patients over age twenty-five who have a license for medical marijuana. Mr. Sperry and his partner also stated that they look forward to making a contribution to the community and participating in community events.
Chris La May, Town Administrator for Elizabeth and Chief Phibbs, Chief of Police both stated that the town is "aware" that Alpine Medical has opened in Elizabeth and are monitoring. Mr. La May went on to say that he understands that Alpine Medical is not actually dispensing from the location in Elizabeth, but referring patients to a dispensary in Castle Rock due to the moratorium. Mr. La May stated that the Town is concerned.
