A Boulder Count District Court judge refused to stop Longmont from enforcing its ban of medical marijuana businesses today, denying the city’s dispensaries a preliminary injunction in their lawsuit.
“Turn off the ‘Open’ sign,” Longmont Apothecary manager Jason Hicks said softly into a cell phone after Judge Ingrid Bakke’s ruling. Bakke found that the dispensaries did not have a constitutional right to operate under Amendment 20 of the Colorado Constitution, nor a protected propety interest that could be guarded by an injunction.
The ban goes into effect at 5 p.m.
