Just two days after the Red Bluff City Council voted to ban all medicinal marijuana collectives, co-ops and dispensaries, one group says that they are not going away. It is called the Blue Toad Inc. on Hickory Street.

At first, the founders told us they were going to follow the new ordinance. That is until they saw our story about the impact it would have on medical marijuana patients, including a woman we told you about Wednesday night with multiple sclerosis.

The co-founders say they will take on City Hall and will face the consequences. They plan to stack up the citations and stay open for those who need the cannabis, until things are resolved in court.

On Thursday, they were open for business despite a City ban. They say they have already received eight citations, which already totals thousands of dollars. They are ready for more.

They closed their doors after the City Council approved a ban on medical marijuana collectives, co-ops and dispensaries, but they changed their minds.

They will sit and wait to see if the ban gets overturned. As for the fines? They say they are already far in the hole because of attorney fees, so they are not going to quit.

Police say the Blue Toad's previous citations were for operating without a permit. The founders says the city has repeatedly rejected their application.
