CALIFORNIA: MANY MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES REOPEN

Months after Los Angeles ran a majority of medical marijuana
dispensaries out of town by passing strict regulations, the shops are
cropping up again. A judge this month scratched key portions of the
ordinance that city officials spent years putting together and noted
that a large number of collectives could reopen. David Welch, the
lawyer who represents some of the shuttered clinics that sued the
city, says nearly 60 have decided to open in recent months. About 180
collectives applied to remain open after hundreds were forced to
close, but only about 40 met all the ordinance's criteria. which
include being at least 1,000 feet from schools, parks and other
gathering sites.
