SUPREME COURT DISMISSES LONG BEACH MEDICAL MARIJUANA CASE, BUT BAN REMAINS
LONG BEACH - The California Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed a
case that would have decided if this city can regulate medical marijuana.
Justices made their decision after Matthew Pappas, the attorney for
the petitioners in the appellate court case, Pack v. Long Beach,
abandoned his original argument that Long Beach's short-lived rules to
allow and regulate medical marijuana violates federal law.
Pappas didn't return a call seeking comment. The lawsuit was filed by
two disabled individuals, Ryan Pack and Anthony Gayle, in 2010.
