Hopefully Rhode Island will follow in Cali's Footsteps on this one (Very Good News) - Colorado should do this to get dispensaries back in Fort Collins:
The California Court of Appeals has just ruled that cities in this state can not ban medical marijuana dispensaries that grow cannabis at their locations. This is what Prop 215 envisioned, a network of caregivers providing cannabis to patients directly from the grow operation.
Because state law allows for marijuana collectives to cultivate and distribute cannabis to members, the court stated, "a local government cannot ban as a nuisance exactly [original emphasis] what the Legislature contemplated would occur at cooperative and collective medical marijuana cultivation sites."
