The lawsuit filed by the collective’s co-founder, Chris Smith, against the city of Berkeley and its Medical Cannabis Commission alleges that the city has allowed the three currently licensed dispensaries in Berkeley to unlawfully monopolize the local sale of medical marijuana.
Smith, who believes the dispensaries are overcharging people, said he opened up his own medical marijuana collective to “find a way to get medicine at a more realistic price.”
The three currently licensed dispensaries in Berkeley, which are not run as nonprofits, unlike 40 Acres, are the Berkeley Patients Group, the Cannabis Buyers Club of Berkeley and the Berkeley Patients Care Collective.
City spokesperson Matthai Chakko said the city had no comment on the lawsuit.
