A California appeals court has ruled that property owners cannot be forced to allow cannabis transportation over an easement on their land, even if a local government has licensed the cannabis operation, with the judges noting that California’s state-level approval of cannabis does not supersede federal prohibitions.
A three-judge panel at California’s Second District Court of Appeal ruled unanimously on Oct. 29 that JCCrandall, LLC, which owns a half-mile easement serving a neighboring property in Santa Barbara County, is within its rights to object to cannabis being transported across its land.
