A trial date has been set for April 3, 1996, in the case of Johann Moore, the longtime marijuana activist who was arrested last August when law enforcement officials busted New York City’s underground cannabis buyers club. Moore is the coordinator of the club.
At a preliminary hearing, Judge Stolz of Manhattan’s Criminal Court chose not to dismiss felony sales charges against Moore. Stolz refused the defense’s motion to dismiss on the grounds that the sale took place in a public space and because Moore has no formal training in medicine.
Moore has stated that he has no intention of ceasing operation of the club.
