MOORE — The city of Moore will abandon its ordinances to regulate medical marijuana before anyone has even bought a permit or paid a fine.

Moore passed zoning rules restricting where some types of marijuana businesses could open, limiting operating hours for dispensaries and requiring business owners to buy a permit, City Attorney Randy Brink said Friday.

The rules never took effect because of a court ruling against similar ordinances in Broken Arrow, Brink said. In that case, the judge determined the restrictions Broken Arrow imposed were forbidden under the terms of State Question 788.

“I think any other judge would follow the ruling,” Brink said. “The only enforcement that I can determine and see as valid (under SQ 788) is prohibiting dispensaries within 1,000 feet of an educational institution.”
