Medical marijuana cooperative to re-open
UPLAND - Aaron Sandusky has a lot to celebrate this holiday weekend.
The president of G3 Holistic, a medical marijuana cooperative, is reopening his Upland shop thanks to a decision made last week in the Fourth District Court of Appeals.
"I feel pretty good based on the decision made and what I read," said Sandusky, whose cooperative was shut down in August after a West Valley Superior Court judge granted an injunction filed by the city.
The city's zoning ordinance prohibits medical marijuana dispensaries from operating within city limits.
Sandusky filed a stay against the injunction and is appealing the city's prohibition of medical marijuana dispensaries.
The stay was granted on June 20, allowing the cooperative to operate until Sandusky's appeal is heard.
"It allows us to open back up and operate again, but we still have to move the case forward and respond and still be heard in the court," Sandusky said.
Upland City Attorney William Curley said he will seek direction from the city.
"Our position is the court did stay our injunction, so that theoretically means they can reopen, but we are perhaps going to revisit this with the court and identify some different facts and perhaps get a different outcome if the city authorizes it," Curley said.

If he doesn’t have a business license to operate within City limits then how can the court rule that he can operate his business within the City? Some of these judges are complete idiots or are plain biased.
City of Upland – do not in any way issue a business license to this guy based on what one idiot judge says. Also, you may want to amend your ordinance, if necessary, to make it airtight against lawsuits. An example ordinance could read; any business contrary to State or FEDERAL law is prohibited from operating such business within the City of Upland and no business license shall be granted to any business operating contrary to State or Federal laws.
