In Ellensburg, marijuana gardens would have to be inside, if the council approves its latest measures.

ELLENSBURG, Wash. — The Ellensburg City Council will take public testimony at Monday's meeting on proposed regulations for medical marijuana dispensaries.

The Daily Record reports the council approved a six-month moratorium on dispensaries at its August meeting.

But Ellensburg is one of the few cities in Washington that is adopting rules for collective gardens. The proposed rules require the gardens would be indoors and at least 300 feet from schools.
