This story out of Montana should be a wake up call for anybody who leases or is considering leasing land that would be used to grow, store or sell marijuana, medical or non-medical. I knew that the federal government has sued landlords who leased to medical marijuana dispensaries for the purpose of causing the landlords to forfeit the land, but this is the first case I have heard about where the landlord was convicted of a crime.
Billings Gazette: “A Flathead Valley landlord has been sentenced to a year in prison for his tenants’ medical marijuana operation.”
