Ann Arbor City Council asks city attorney to lay off MMJ Dispensaries

Category: Dispensaries | Posted on Mon, March, 5th 2012 by THCFinder
The Ann Arbor City Council is prepared to take up the issue of medical marijuana tonight, and the city's licensing board is asking the city attorney's office to lay off dispensaries.
 
AnnArbor.com obtained a copy of a letter the five-member medical marijuana advisory body sent to council members on Friday in support of a resolution on tonight's agenda.
 
[ A2CT presents Grey Gardens March 8th - 11th at the Arthur Miller Theatre more info. ]
 
In the letter, members of the licensing board argue the city attorney's office seems to be aggressively trying to shut down dispensaries while the board tries to license them.
 
The city attorney's office says medical marijuana dispensaries in Ann Arbor must be in compliance with the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, but the city's medical marijuana licensing board asks: "How can dispensaries be in compliance with the MMMA when they are not even mentioned in the MMMA?"
 
"These dispensaries are serious, and obeying the local laws for them to be in business," the letter reads. "What more do they have to do?"

"Dispensaries are openly operating in areas throughout Michigan, including our neighbors to the east, Ypsilanti, who recently renewed their dispensaries' licenses for a year," the letter reads. "Our resolution to you Monday is a request for you to tell the city attorneys to stop enforcement activities against dispensaries until you have had time to look over the advisory board's resolutions."

Feds: Every Colorado Medical Marijuana Shop is Target

Category: Dispensaries | Posted on Mon, March, 5th 2012 by THCFinder
John Walsh, the U.S. attorney for Colorado, finally has clarified which medical marijuana providers in that state should worry about trouble with the feds: all of them. Two months ago Walsh told 23 dispensaries located within 1,000 feet of a school they had to close or face raids, forfeiture, and prosecution. At least some of those dispensaries were complying with Colorado law, which has a general rule against operating within 1,000 feet of a school but allows local governments to modify that restiction and grandfathers dispensaries that existed before the state started issuing licenses. So it was already clear that Walsh, contrary to Attorney General Holder's repeated assurances on this point, was not prepared to let state law determine whether a dispensary can operate without federal harassment. But when it turned out that one of those 23 dispensaries was near a school building that was not used for teaching, it was taken off the list. That decision fanned the hope that Walsh would stick to enforcing his 1,000-foot rule. Last week, A.P. reports, Walsh stomped on that hope (emphasis added):
 
U.S. Attorney John Walsh sent a letter Friday to a lawyer representing medical marijuana dispensaries, saying safe harbor doesn't exist for such shops because marijuana remains illegal under federal law....
 
Walsh said in the new letter that it is at his office's discretion to take enforcement action against any and all medicinal marijuana dispensaries....
 
[Walsh said] advising clients that there is a safe harbor is "incorrect and untruthful, and would mislead them, factually and legally."
 
Jeff Dorschner, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office, said there are other factors that can close down shops like unlawful use or possession of a firearm and having amounts of marijuana not in compliant with state and local law....

4 Med. Marijuana Dispensaries Hit Overnight

Category: Dispensaries | Posted on Mon, March, 5th 2012 by THCFinder
Four medical marijuana dispensaries were hit Monday morning in Colorado Springs.
 
The final dispensary hit overnight turned up some clues that officers hope will lead to an arrest.
 
Police say two suspects, wearing disguises, forced their way into the Total Health Care dispensary on the 1600 block of West Uintah around 2:40 a.m.
 
Surveillance video caught the suspects as they ransacked the business, but police are not releasing any suspect information because they believe these thieves could be connected three similar burglaries.
 
Prior to that, Happy Buddha Wellness Center on the 3600 block of Galley, We Grow Colorado on the 2500 block of East Bijou, and Rocky Mountain Miracles on the 2300 block of East Bijou were burglarized sometime between midnight and 1 a.m.
 
The suspects smashed in doors, but didn't get away with much: one owner tells 11 News the thieves stole an empty cash box.
 
At this time, it's not certain if the four burglaries are connected, but police hope information gathered at the scene on West Uintah will help lead to an arrest in all cases.
 
11 News is now working to obtain the surveillance video.
