After a two-and-a-half hour meeting Tuesday night, the Elko City Council approved a ban on marijuana establishments within city limits.
Letters and personal testimonies, mostly supporting medical cannabis users in Elko, stretched out the public-hearing portion of the meeting.
Ten out of 12 people who spoke at the meeting asked the council to vote against prohibiting a marijuana dispensary in Elko.
