A state district court judge indicated Wednesday he may overturn the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services' decision last month to revoke the license of one of the two medical marijuana providers in Billings city limits.
Yellowstone County District Judge Don Harris last week granted a temporary restraining order to Montana Organic Medical Supply owner Steven Palmer, allowing the provider to continue doing business while he asks the court to reinstate his license and correct violations identified during an inspection of his business in June.
The inspection took place about a month after a suite of new regulations for the state’s medical marijuana program went into effect in April. In August, Palmer received an inspection report alleging he had failed to conduct lab tests on marijuana and marijuana products prior to sale, improperly labeled products at the dispensary and purchased products from another provider, among other violations.
