.Oakland Takes Hard Line Against Cannabis Dispensary

The city appears to be taking an unnecessarily hard-line stance against the Oakland Patient Center medical cannabis dispensary, possibly even moving to shut it down, because of a dispute over a potential ownership change. Deputy City Administrator Arturo Sanchez revoked the dispensary’s business license because the owners failed to notify the city that they’re in the process of selling the club. But according to the Trib, the dispensary’s owners say the move was premature because the sale has not gone through yet.
