A judge recently scratched key portions of the ordinance city officials spent years crafting, noting in his Dec. 10 ruling granting a preliminary injunction that a large number of shuttered collectives could reopen. Attorney David Welch, who represents clinics that sued the city when they were forced to close, said nearly 60 collectives have planned to open, and 10 have done so [Continue Reading]

The search was prompted by neighbors complaining that he was allegedly selling drugs, which he reportedly admitted to in an [Continue Reading]

The letters, sent Friday, said dispensaries must also pay the state business and occupation tax. “We were [Continue Reading]
