Reply to comment by yogfthagen in Pot twist: Cannabis firm refuses federal judge's ruling because its business isn't legal under federal law by Doc_Dante

Sure, but it’s not about the business. It’s about rent.

You sign a lease, you pay rent. If operating an illegal business was grounds to not pay rent, everyone would do it.

Take it up in a jurisdiction that actually recognizes the business' right to exist.

In federal court, the owner of the pot shop, by stepping into the court, has admitted to federal drug trafficking.

If the political winds change, the owner has basically set themselves up for a multi-decade stretch in a federal prison.

I wouldn't show up, either.
