Judge Rules Cities Cant Use Federal Law To Justify Banning Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in CO
Weed Law News, Talk and Marijuana Info!
Arapahoe County District Judge Christopher Cross ruled Wednesday that the city of Centennial could not use federal law as a justification for closing a medical marijuana dispensary.
In October, the city of Centennial, Colorado forced CannaMart, a medical marijuana dispensary, to close in accordance with a city ordinance that banned medical marijuana facilities. In response, two medical marijuana caregivers and three patients sued Centennial on the grounds that banning dispensaries is unconstitutional under the 2000 ballot initiative that legalized medical marijuana.
In his ruling, Cross stated “The city of Centennial cannot use the potential violation of a federal law to order a business legally operating under our state constitution to cease and desist its business,”
