City weighs revoking pot shop licenses in Roswell
The Roswell City Council plans a hearing to revoke two licenses held by Compassionate Distributors, a Ruidoso medical marijuana distributor that opened last week. Co owner Mandy Denson denounces the move while Perry pushes an ordinance to ban medical cannabis sales in the city. The case follows zoning changes in December allowing such stores and references to the licenses for Grow Happy.
