L.A. Dispensary Wins Court Ruling To Stay Open

A Los Angeles dispensary has won an temporary restraining order allowing it to stay open under the city’s new ordinance, pending another hearing. The collective DTPG will be allowed to operate for now.
Alfred Garcia, who started the downtown collective, said DTPG opened before the city had medical marijuana laws and has complied with every requirement it has adopted. “We are very pleased with the initial ruling, and we hope to ultimately win the case,” he said in a statement.
Let us hope that this is one in a string of many court victories for dispensaries and collectives in L.A. The new ordinances the city has adopted in regards to medical marijuana are ridiculous and restricting to patients’ rights and an already weak economy.
The judge in this case also presides over 30 other dispensary lawsuits. Maybe he will see these edicts by the city as the damaging actions that they are, and won’t allow them to get away with it.
