L.A. City Council Votes to Ban Most Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
The Los Angeles City Council has unanimously voted to close
down most of the city’s 762 medical marijuana dispensaries, reports the Los
Angeles Times. Under the ban, each of the medical marijuana shops will be
ordered to shut down immediately or face legal action. Medical patients and
their caregivers are still allowed to grow and share the drug in small groups
(three people or less). Patients may find some additional relief: Council
members also voted to allow about 170 of the city’s oldest dispensaries to stay
open.

I live in Ca and have mixed position on Med Pot. it is the problem I have with Russ Limballs opiates or synthetic herion addiction, for I have no problem for the treatment for pain but sad when this dragon is abused to the point of danger to him and others. Med Pot is great when people can manage it for their help,what is the right dosage for indivuals, on the other hand some folks smoke it to sedate any feeling or action in their life,and many are become obese and causing medical problems.
