MediMar Ministries, owned by Tom Sexton, has prepared a legal marijuana dispensary located at 112 Colorado Street in the building formeraly known as “The Ambrosia Buildnig”. The City has delayed the opening of the dispensary and is proposing an ordinance which will delay the opening 90 days.

On Monday, October 26, the City Council will hear the proposed ordinance to delay opening of such facilities and allow the public to comment in the meeting. City Attorney Tom Jagger stated that action on the ordinance is expected in one to two weeks.

MediMar Ministries plans to hold its own meeting on Wednesday, October 28 at 6 p.m. at their dispensary offices. The meeting is planned to present not only information about the city’s proposed ordinance but also state and federal laws regarding marijuana for medicinal use. They will discuss the process of how a patient registers for legal medicinal marijuana use as well as how to become an approved caregiver to patients.

The dispensary plans to challenge the city in legal action in efforts to open their facility for medicinal marijuana dispensing through their legal representative, Jim Oliver. They hope to have this legal matter heard within two weeks.
