The Cannabis Control Commission has been debating whether to ask lawmakers to address host community agreements between recreational pot companies and municipalities, some of which include extravagant payments to the community at the expense of the young companies and beyond the state-allowed 3 percent of the location's gross annual sales. Some advocates have pointed to this as one of the factors leading to the slow licensing process for an industry that was supposed to start selling July 1.

Should cities be allowed to require marijuana firms to pay fees of more than the state-capped 3 percent of sales?
