The marijuana dispensary industry has new and unlikely allies in a dozen Republican lawmakers, some of whom only months ago supported bills seen as hostile to the industry.
The lawmakers’ message to law enforcement officials: Focus on illegal “clubs,’’ but let legal dispensaries operate within the law and without obstruction.
That’s a significant change for several of the legislators, who recently had sponsored legislation to tighten the medical marijuana law approved by voters in 2010.
And it echoes the message coming from the state’s fledgling medical marijuana dispensary industry, which has been telling law enforcement to leave them alone and concentrate on the clubs operating outside of the law.
