Recreational Marijuana Businessmen Sue County in Washington


A lawsuit against Pierce County alleges the County Council violated the rights of two recreational marijuana businessmen looking to open a retail shop near Elk Plain.

Filed by Tedd Wetherbee and business partner Michael Heneryin Pierce County Superior Court, the suit targets action the council took Dec. 15 when it amended its marijuana ordinance.

Specifically, it says an amendment approved by the council is unconstitutional and illegally targets marijuana businesses.
