After a three-month long hiatus, Montana’s medical marijuana dispensaries will be reopened immediately, a judge ruled Wednesday. The dispensaries were closed due to an error in drafting a voter-approved ballot measure.
The error resulted in pushing back the date on which a key portion of the ballot would come into force. District Judge James Reynolds of Helena said such an error shouldn’t prevent registered users from accessing medical cannabis.
“The folks that are maybe the most in need are the least able to provide, to grow their own,” Reynolds reportedly said. “I think speed is more important than niceties.”
