The landlord’s only alleged crime was leasing space to a medical marijuana tenant

There is an interesting legal development going on in Colorado, U.S.A. As most people know, the Federal Laws of the United States are zero tolerance for drugs, however, a few states, including Colorado have state laws permitting  both the sale and  personal use of  marijuana. An anti-crime group called Safe Streets Alliance and a hotel operator sued a landlord (and others) under the  Federal RICO statute for engaging in a criminal enterprise.  As far as I know, the landlord’s only crime was leasing space to a medical marijuana tenant near the hotel.  I have checked on the case occasionally and it seems to be going well for the plaintiffs.
