LA City Council Votes to Close Most Medical Marijuana Dispensaries


The Los Angeles City Council has given final approved to an ordinance that will close hundreds of medical marijuana dispensaries. The 9-3 vote Tuesday ends months of debate on how to curb the so-called “Green Rush” that has swept through much of California. The ordinance will cap the number of medical marijuana clinics in the city at 70. It also requires dispensaries to be at least 1000 feet from schools, parks and other public gathering spots. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa must approve the ordinance for it to take effect. The number of pot dispensaries has gone from four to as many as 1000 over the past five years as the council struggled to adopt an ordinance. City officials believe it will be at least 45 days before they can enforce the new rules.
