PHOENIX (KPHO) -
A medical marijuana dispensary may be coming to a neighborhood near you.
After a federal judge's ruling yesterday, card carriers said they are one step closer to getting what they want.
"By the thousands, hundreds of thousands, we see people come in here every day," said We Grow Owner, Sunny Singh, "We are not a dispensary. We don't have any marijuana here."
Since proposition 203 passed in November of 2010, medical marijuana cards have been issued but there have not been any dispensaries allowed to open.
A Federal law suit filed by Gov. Jan Brewer that has been standing in the way was dismissed by Federal Judge Susan Bolton Wednesday.
"It's a huge thing for us," said card carrier James Goulding. "I will be able to have far easier access to the medicine rather than either having to grow it myself or go patient to patient on Craig's list and stuff like that."
But not so fast, County Attorney Bill Montgomery said there could be some real dangers associated with opening a dispensary.
"Any person or business, who is dealing in medical marijuana, is trafficking in marijuana and that's a class two felony," Montgomery said.
