A ban on marijuana bars and social clubs and random marijuana testing for pesticides or other harmful substances at retail stores are among the more contentious elements of Anchorage’s draft cannabis business license regulations released this week.

Anchorage officials have been developing a local license for marijuana businesses as a way to give local government more control over enforcement. But industry leaders have said a local license would be redundant to a state license and overly burdensome, and have promised to fight it in the coming weeks.

The first draft of the licensing regulations emerged at a Thursday meeting of the Anchorage Assembly’s marijuana regulation committee. Most of the regulations are copied directly from proposed state regulations. But, unlike the state regulations, the proposed Anchorage rules explicitly bar business owners from allowing people to buy marijuana at a retail store and consume it on the premises.
