THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE WON’T ALLOW ULTRA HEALTH, THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA COMPANY, TO ADVERTISE ON CITY BUSES…SAYING IT COULD PUT FEDERAL FUNDS IN JEOPARDY. CITY COUNCILOR PAT DAVIS DOESN’T AGREE WITH THAT INTERPRETATION OF THE LAW…AND SAYS THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH SUCH ADVERTISING. HE SAYS THE BUSINESS HAS A LOT OF PATIENTS … MORE THAN 40-THOUSAND PEOPLE … AND EMPLOYS A LOT OF PEOPLE. DAVIS SAYS MEDICAL CANNABIS SHOULD BE TREATED AS ANY OTHER BUSINESS.
DAVIS SAYS NOTHING IN FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS THE CITY FROM ALLOWING MEDICAL MARIJUANA ADVERTISING. HE’D LIKE THE CITY TO GET SOME CLARIFICATION FROM THE FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION ON WHAT ITS POSITION IS.
