California court rules cities, counties can ban pot stores

[DreamSmoker]

Once again the State law on Medical Cannabis has been re-interpreted..
It say it here.. This has been in the Courts for years..
the Opposition has lost many cases up to this day because the law was written plainly and simple..
It was written so that Local Governments would comply and work out Distribution of Medical Cannabis to Patients..
Instead its been hijacked by Lawyers of the opposition in most Cities and Counties in California..
L.A. and its long fight is an example..

NOW you have this as if it makes this clearer and does give all Opposition a way to totally ban all access to Medical Cannabis for all Patients period..
In other words it now closed the door for any Patients to get Medication..
Totally goes against the spirit of the California Laws that does allow the access needed..

Simply because the States laws do not say they cannot do it..
So this Court has made this decision to re-interpret the Law...
The decision by a panel of the 4th District Court of Appeal upholds Riverside's ban. It could embolden more cities and counties to enact their own bans.

In a decision that could have immediate fallout for medical marijuana dispensaries, a state appeals court has ruled that California law allows cities and counties to ban the stores.

The contentious issue has bounced through the state courts for years, but the opinion issued Wednesday is the first published one that directly tackles it and does so in unambiguous language. The decision, which upholds Riverside's ban, could embolden more cities and counties to enact their own. It also could spur those that have bans to be more aggressive about seeking court orders to close defiant dispensaries.
