Two medical cannabis businesses were firebombed in Billings, Montana in the days leading up to a city council vote on a medical pot moratorium. The two attacks, which took place early Sunday and early Monday, were nearly identical. In each case a rock was used to break the store windows and a bottle filled with gasoline was lit and tossed inside. Additionally, in each case the arsonists spray-painted the message “Not in our town” on the storefronts.
No one was injured in the attacks and the fires were quickly extinguished. One of the businesses estimated $2,500 in damages.
Following the attacks, the city council voted in favor of a six-month moratorium on new medical cannabis businesses in Billings. However, the council did not support a ban on medical pot sales.
