News » LA Dispensary Wins Court Order to Stay Open





A medical marijuana dispensary in Los Angeles faced closure under the new ordinance that would shut down most of the areas MMJ facilities. A court order allows the dispensary to stay open, however, pending a new hearing regarding the law and the business, DTPG.

The judge in Los Angeles County Superior Court found compelling reasons to keep the business open until arguments over its compliance with the new regulations. The ruling will not likely change the fate of many other dispensaries facing closure, as DTPG’s case is based mainly on a technicality over their filing status and not on the ordinance itself.

Others are hoping that the ruling will show the city’s rules to be draconian – making a rule, then changing it mid-game and shutting out most of the players. That has yet to be decided in court.
