Harborside Wins Supreme Court Ruling - Cannot be evicted by Federal Law!

^ Ya, it seems like a tactic to make it harder for dispensaries to find landlords willing to take the risks associated with allowing them to use their building. They are trying to put pressure on the dispensaries from many angles obviously, including unfair tax stipulations and other means.

From grower to dispensary and on up to landlords who lease to med businesses, everyone knows the risks, or at least should. Right now, the owner of the Harborside leased property isnt really the "poor landlord". He/she has been busy the last several months trying to throw Harborside to the Fed dogs by claiming he/she had no idea Harborside was engaged in what the Feds would consider an illegal activity.

D'Angelo didnt look for the fight with the property owner. In fact, with a joint signed lease agreement in hand that explicitly spelled out the intended plan for sales of medical mj, he expected he/she(property owner) to stand in Harborside's corner. After all, he/she was receiving over-the-top lease dollars for the building due to the nature of the business being conducted which is to say, life was very sweet until the Feds came knocking.

All parties knew the risks but the landlord folded like a little girl and sorry, I dont feel a bit for them. They profited handsomely for years and now wants to cry foul. He/she should have, if he/she really believed in what Harborside was trying to do in providing medicine as described by Prop 215, stood by D,Angelo and Harborside in solidarity. Instead, like many other Prop 215 fair weather profiteers these days, he/she chose the "I'm a victim" path.

Maybe they loses her building, maybe they dont but one thing is for certain: Steve D'Angelo wont cut and run and he wont sell out. This particular property owner and others like them cant say the same and IMO, when the dust settles, Mr D'Angelo will give other true med believers motivation to stand against the foolish Fed tactics... CC

** I use "He/She" as reference to the property owner because news articles are somewhat conflicting as to who actually owns the building.

^I just hate to see her land taken and sold by the government. if they are gonna shut down the dispensary anyways she might as well find out a way to keep her land. I'm sure she knew and profited, but fuck the government; i'll take her side just because fuck the government.

Hello? D'Angelo risks losing as much or more as the property owner. And if he loses, we ALL lose. On the other hand, the landlord, win or lose will be exposed as just another Fed pressured profiteer/sell-out. You say screw the government while the landlord is saying screw Harborside, hoping and praying to save her building. Which is exactly what the Fed's wanted to happen to begin with. Pretty cowardly on both fronts if you ask me. Its like you throwing tea barrels into Boston Harbor while the landlord is behind you fishin em out, giving them back to the British, all the while humming our National Anthem...sort of...CC

Whoa... that's a hell of an analogy, but it fits like Cinderella's glass slipper.

I mean seriously.....I have been involved in some huge cases...and this is not a win....maybe for harborside for a few months.....but trust me....they are going to take that building.....really it's set up perfect now....

I know we have lots of stoners on IC.....and of course I medicate and love growing....but please understand and read a ruling....and know the difference between the supreme court and superior court.....that landlord is going to appeal to the appeal court...you can bet on it....and most likely it will get overturned....but if it does not....bank on the feds taking that property.

The thread title needs to be changed. As for interpreting legal rulings, that's a realm unto itself, for which I bought myself the dictionary (and the Red Book), and a brief but helpful little paperback called Plain English for Lawyers, that every one should read.

I agree with you, by the way, on the appeals. This is just the beginning and doesn't mean shit in the grand scheme of things. However, it *does* mean that there is at least one jurist out there who's willing to rule against the federal government, and we need more like that and more in higher jurist positions.

it is her property to do as she pleases with, and if she wants to evict harbor side to save her own ass then it is her own business. Theoretically Harbor side is going down anyways whether she does or not. why does she have to go down too. It's not like she is ratting them out to the cops. They knew everything. Harbor side has been there a long time now.
