A. To the extent the state adopts in the future any additional or stricter law or regulation governing the sale or distribution of retail marijuana, the additional or stricter regulation shall control the establishment or operation of any medical marijuana establishment or retail marijuana establishment in the Town. Compliance with any applicable state law or regulation shall be deemed an additional requirement for issuance or denial of any license under this chapter, and noncompliance with any applicable state law or regulation shall be grounds for revocation or suspension of any license issued under this chapter.

B. Any licensee may be required to demonstrate, upon demand by the Town Manager or by law enforcement officers, that the source and quantity of any marijuana found upon the licensed premises are in full compliance with any applicable state law or regulation.

C. If the state prohibits the sale or other distribution of marijuana through retail marijuana establishments, any license issued hereunder shall be deemed immediately revoked by operation of law, with no ground for appeal or other redress on behalf of the licensee.

D. The issuance of any license pursuant to this chapter shall not be deemed to create an exception, defense or immunity for any person in regard to any potential criminal liability the person may have under federal law for the cultivation, possession, sale, distribution or use of marijuana.
