Appeals court strikes down wyoming ordinance!

I didn't see a thread on this and I didn't even catch this in the local news when it happened so I thought I would go ahead and post the info here so everyone is informed and up to date on what's happening.

The City of Wyoming and a few other cities passed ordinances banning all medical marijuana use and cultivation within their respective city limits. Obviously this goes directly against State law so a lawyer and patient who resides in Wyoming sued the city and the Appeals court ruled unanimously that Cities cannot ban medical marijuana use as State law supersedes municipal law. Additionally, the courts ruled that cities cannot use the excuse of marijuana being a federally banned substance as it has already been ruled eons ago by the SCOTUS that States are NOT obliged to enforce federal law.

Just a little food for thought and another win for patients and caregivers....put another notch in the bed post

just sayin; hehe.

If our favorite moderator wasn't so fucked up on his latest crop this poast would probably be in that thread by now.

This ruling really cuts the nuts off the Local Ordinances in general.
I'm sure many localities will leave their illegal ordinances on the books to try and keep the heat on cardholders.
And the Court ruled in the Livonia,Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills case that you can't challenge an ordinance if you haven't suffered any harm from it.
So it's still possible for the local leo to arrest you under an ordinance on the books even though everyone knows you are walking way with a check if you push it.
We shouldn't have to live under threat of invasion from leo for our med grow; but we do and this ruling doesn't really change that.

The laws governing zoning were pretty clear in the first place.

Basicly zoning laws can't say NO, they. Can only say WHERE.
