There will be a vote on Pueblo's cannabis home-cultivation rules tonight at 7 p.m. on the third floor of Pueblo City Hall, located on 1 City Pl., Pueblo.

Also happening today at 7 p.m.: The Wheat Ridge City Council is conducting a public hearing concerning tighter regulations on cannabis businesses within the city at the Wheat Ridge Municipal Building, located at 7500 West 29th Avenue.
