WINDSOR POT SHOP TO DEFY MORATORIUM AND STAY OPEN

(AP) Dozens of Colorado towns have put moratoriums on medical 
marijuana dispensaries. But one Windsor pot shop says it'll stay open anyway.

The Medigrow dispensary in Windsor says it will defy a moratorium 
passed Dec. 16 in Windsor. Medigrow opened five days before the 
moratorium was approved, but it was not included on a list of 
dispensaries that could stay open during the moratorium.

Windsor officials say the dispensary could be fined up to $300 a day 
for staying open despite the moratorium. Dispensary owners tell The 
(Greeley) Tribune that they'll pay any fines while they contest being 
left off the list.

Two dispensaries in Windsor have been allowed to stay open during the 
moratorium. A Feb. 18 court date has been set for the Medigrow dispute
