The city of Oakland has sued to block U.S. authorities from closing down a medical marijuana dispensary that bills itself as the world’s largest, marking the latest clash with federal authorities over California’s cannabis industry.
The lawsuit, which was filed by Oakland’s city attorney in U.S. District Court, seeks an injunction to halt efforts by federal prosecutors to shut down Harborside Health Center through civil forfeiture actions they filed in July against two properties where the clinic operates.
Harborside, which has been featured on the Discovery Channel reality TV show “Weed Wars,” says it is the largest medical marijuana dispensary in the world and serves more than 100,000 patients in a “beautiful waterfront location.”
