DENVER, Colo. (AP) — A federal trial in Colorado could have far-reaching effects on the marijuana industry in Washington and other states if a jury sides with a couple who say having a cannabis business as a neighbor hurts their property’s value.
The trial set to begin Monday is the first time a jury will consider a lawsuit using federal anti-racketeering law to target cannabis companies.
In the suit the couple claims “pungent, foul odors” from a neighboring indoor marijuana grow have hurt their property’s value and their ability to use and enjoy it.
