California Supreme Court Deems Legality of Storefront Medical Marijuana Dispensaries “Final”

[DreamSmoker]

ca_supreme_court_justices_portrait“The matter is now final,” according to the California Supreme Court. On Wednesday, the California Supreme Court denied requests from the League of California Cities, the San Diego District Attorney’s Office, the Sacramento District Attorney’s Office, the Sonoma District Attorney’s Office, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office and the Los Angeles City Attorney to depublish or review the published decision in People v. Jackson.

After years of struggling over the issue, the Court of Appeal held that storefront dispensaries are legal under California law, so long as they operate on a not for profit basis and adhere to certain corporate forms. This decision establishes that storefront dispensaries are unquestionably legal under California law and that localities cannot continue to rely on their now-discredited view that all sales of medical marijuana are illegal in order to support their ongoing attacks on medical marijuana dispensaries.

And why isn't all healthcare so designated? WTF?

the megacorporations getting in on the deal and ripping people off.
