The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday
tentatively approved an ordinance to close most of the city's medical marijuana dispensaries,
winding down months of debate on how to limit the rapid spread of such
clinics.
The ordinance, if passed next week by a simple majority of the 15-member
council, would cap the number of dispensaries at 70 and require them to be at
least 1,000 feet from "sensitive uses" — schools, parks and other public
gathering spots.
The local law would put an end to the proliferation of pot dispensaries. As
many as 1,000 have cropped up over the past few years. The ordinance would also
likely force remaining clinics that comply to move to industrial areas because
of the distance requirement.
(I hope this helps stop the push some are giving to those involved in making or selling drugs which are destroying families, and America which includes the city of Los Angeles. Read more on this story Los
Angeles council votes to close most pot dispensaries.)
