Harsh Toke? Attorney General Wins Fight to Let WA Cities Ban Pot Stores

A small city in Washington State is legally justified in banning pot stores, even though pot stores are legally allowed under state law, according to a Pierce County judge’s decision this afternoon. The Associated Press reports that a would-be store owner, who was banned from opening a shop by the city of Fife and filed the lawsuit, says he plans to appeal the decision. However, if today’s ruling holds at the state supreme court, this could mean cities throughout the state have a green light to ban legal marijuana businesses.
Is this the lamest thing ever?
