The Court of Appeals ruling that forced the closure of medical marihuana dispensaries across the State is being challenged by the owner of the dispensary. In the underlying case of State v McQueen, the Court of Appeals decided that patient-to-patient sales of medical marihuana were illegal, and that a dispensary run by CA, LLC, in Mt. Pleasant constituted a public nuisance.

On Thursday, CA, LLC, filed papers with the Supreme Court seeking leave to appeal the Court of Appeals decision. The Supreme Court will now decide whether to accept the appeal.
