It appears as though several special interest groups have combined forces in an effort to make the establishment of Medical Marijuana Dispensaries extremely difficult. Not only will it make it difficult to establish any further dispensaries, it plans to close 800 clubs throughout LA City. If this ordinance passes in its current form, dispensaries must be located "more than 1000 feet from various 'sensitive uses' -- including churches, public parks, schools, rehab centers, and other dispensaries."
In the article, linked above, a LA City Cannabis patient references the nearly 25,000 locations throughout LA where liquor is available for purchase. This is a significant juxtaposition, but let us not forget the countless other substances we Americans readily ingest that lead to far worse things than a mellow and relaxed demeanor, namely: Doctor prescribed and over the counter medications, Coffee, Soda, Fast and Junk Foods, Tobacco. LA city residence should rest easy in knowing they'll still have plenty of places to rot their teeth, clog their arteries, and kill their brain cells. If this ordinance is voted through, however, there will be 800 less places to legally purchase The Chronic!
