Ban on medical marijuana sales rejected
Marijuana plants
Two LA City Council committees rejected a proposal Monday by the City Attorney to outright ban the sale of medical marijuana in Los Angeles. Councilmen Ed Reyes and Dennis Zine said medical marijuana patients ought to be able to reimburse dispensaries for the cost of cultivation and distribution provided it’s in compliance with state law. The full City Council may vote on an amended ordinance tomorrow. Is a provision that allows for some sales workable? Or would it simply perpetuate pot profiteering?
