Well being up here in Flagstaff, I've learned how to draw out the courts. Snowbowl has been in a legal battle over snowmaking for the last ten years. Native Americans have for ten years successfully stalled thier snowmaking attempts in court. The San Francisco Peaks are sacred for the local Native Americans and they don't want reclaimed water on their sacred mountain (the water in question is reclaimed Flagstaff water). They also argue that the runoff containing wastewater effluent will effect the meadows where certain members collect medicine to be used in ceremonies, and for healing.
Long story short. If no dispensary is allowed to open until ALL lawsuits are settled, this could take a while if properly played out. Though it would be nice if we could grow our own superb quality medicine, and if we choose, purchase from the shops. They can be a good source for just about anything associated with Therapeutic Cannabis. Though if they open, we will be their slaves under the current law. Who put that fucking 25 mile rule in there anyway. It looked bad the first time I read the law, and never even thought of growing until two months after I got my card, and thought it seemed like a cool hobby that would save me money, while providing me with organic medicine. My own Victory garden, if I may.
