WINDSOR, Colo. -- Dozens of Colorado towns have put moratoriums on medical marijuana dispensaries but one northern Colorado pot shop says it'll stay open anyway.The Medigrow dispensary in Windsor said it will defy a moratorium passed Dec. 16 in the Weld County town. Medigrow opened five days before the moratorium was approved, but it was not included on a list of dispensaries that could stay open during the moratorium.Windsor officials said the dispensary could be fined up to $300 a day for staying open despite the moratorium. Dispensary owners told The Greeley Tribune that they'll pay any fines while they contest being left off the list.
Windsor Police Chief John Michaels said his officers have been citing Medigrow with an ordinance violation each day since Dec. 17.Two dispensaries in Windsor have been allowed to stay open during the moratorium.Town board members said Medigrow was not supposed to be open on Dec. 11 because its final inspection was not completed.A Feb. 18 court date has been set for the Medigrow dispute.
