STOP SELLING MEDICAL POT, CONCORD TELLS BUSINESS

CONCORD -- City officials have told a new medical marijuana dispensary to quit providing pot, saying the existence of the business violates a city ban, and that its owners misrepresented themselves on their business license application.

Herbal Essence, at 5065 Clayton Road, has 10 days to prove that it is not providing medical marijuana or face a lawsuit, according to a "cease and desist" letter sent by City Attorney Craig Labadie.

City officials would also ask a judge for an immediate injunction to close the dispensary if marijuana continues to be provided, the letter says.
