(November 18, 2016, 11:15 PM EST) -- SAN FRANCISCO — A California federal magistrate judge on Nov. 2 denied a motion for summary judgment filed by a woman who bought a hydroponic gardening franchise in a breach of contract case in which the judge had to navigate the conflict created by the federal ban on medical marijuana and the legalization of medical marijuana under California law, saying that enforcing the contract in this case is not endorsing the cultivation, possession or distribution of the drug (Dharminder Mann v. Sara Gullickson, No. 3:15-cv-3630, N.D. Calif.; 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 152125)....
