Except as may be provided otherwise in this chapter, or rules adopted pursuant to this chapter or interpretations by the city, any law or regulation adopted by the state governing the cultivation, production, possession or distribution of marijuana for medical use shall also apply to medical marijuana businesses in the city. Provided however, if a state law or regulation permits what this chapter prohibits, this chapter shall prevail. Compliance with any applicable state law or regulation that does not permit what this chapter prohibits shall be deemed an additional requirement for issuance or denial of any permit under this chapter, and noncompliance with any applicable state law or regulation is unlawful and shall be grounds for revocation or suspension of any permit issued under this chapter. No medical marijuana business shall continue operations in violation of an additional state law or regulation, which does not permit what this chapter prohibits, applicable within the city after the effective date of the state law or regulation.
