COUNCIL CONSIDERS BAN ON POT DISPENSARIES
With the federal Drug Enforcement Administration cracking down on
medical marijuana dispensaries, the City Council has scheduled a key
vote today on whether to temporarily ban any new centers in the city.
Through last November, Los Angeles had 98 marijuana facilities, with
at least 12 near day-care centers or schools, the city attorney's
office said.
A ban would allow existing dispensaries to remain open while giving
the city time to write permanent regulations governing them.
