For example:
In Los Angeles the City Council initiated a city-wide moratorium on new Dispensaries in 2007, however, they left a loophole in the ordinance that somehow allowed clubs to submit a hardship application and open anyway. Most of these clubs didn't bother to apply for the proper business licenses and permits, and are outright illegal. The City Council, two years later has finally closed that loophole and is now hearing the hardship cases. Out of the over 500 hardship applications, they've heard over 40 so far, and haven't approved a single one. Now those businesses are operating illegally, and the city AG has to move to shut them down.
BUT again, these are clubs that DESERVE to be shut down because they were not in it for the patients in the first place, they were profiteers who didn't care about MMJ or the movement.
I only support LEGAL clubs who have been in business long enough to have gotten all their permits. The clubs I support are also members of GLACA and ASA. | thats what i said but,you made it long and boring.
