CALIF. CITIES SUED OVER MEDICAL MARIJUANA ORDINANCES
Medical marijuana dispensaries have filed lawsuits against California
cities, including Los Angeles, challenging ordinances that
effectively threaten the existence of their businesses.
Besides the dispensaries, the plaintiffs include medical marijuana
users and organizations that promote the use of medical marijuana.
Vincent Howard, founding partner of Howard | Nassiri, based in
Anaheim, Calif., who represents at least 10 dispensaries in Los
Angeles, expects more suits to be filed.
“As long as cities want to turn a blind eye and pretend like this
isn’t coming, there’s going to be a lot of lawsuits and a
proliferation of dispensaries,” he said.
