Health Choice Inc. had argued that Stockton officials didn't give it adequate notice of a required test on medical marijuana laws. An administrative hearing officer agreed Wednesday. The group took the test Friday, Deputy City Attorney Guy Petzold said, and did not pass. Nine applicants are competing for three city dispensary permits under Stockton's new medical marijuana ordinance. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
