Denver City Council members Charlie Brown and Chris Nevitt are polar opposites on how much regulation the burgeoning medical marijuana industry should face.

Nevitt doesn't understand why Brown is pushing for more regulation. Brown can't understand why Nevitt doesn't support requiring marijuana dispensaries to apply for a license similar to what establishments serving liquor must seek.

But on one issue the two council members are in agreement: They both think the city should start seeking sales tax revenues from those dispensaries selling medical marijuana.
