Where many other counties reacted to the state legalization of recreational and medicinal marijuana by banning rec shops and putting strict limitations on plant cultivation, Pueblo has largely remained untouched by such restrictions. Now, pot opponents are taking five stabs at shutting the door on cannabis during the November election.
