Los Angeles City Council votes to ban marijuana shops | abc7.com

The vote passed. Get ready to travel farther to the dispensaries. Apparently they are considering allowing the pre-2007 ones to remain open, but that won't be voted on for a few months.

Nah. Don't panic. This will probably be overturned and/or never implemented. The city council was being very short sighted

Maybe now you guys can stop abusing it. If it wasn't being used as a way to just legally get high this probably would have never happened.

Maybe if they legalized it in the first place, there would be nothing to abuse thus this would have never happened.

So you guys think we'll be fine? Can I roll down there right now?

I really hope my usual guy didn't get shut down. He's owned his shop for 7+ years now and does a very good job running it.

I believe they gave them 30 days to vacate.

I think the letters may start going out 30 days after the Mayor signs the ordinance. How long they have after that I'm not sure.

"Spokeswoman for Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Vicki Curry, told The Huffington Post that the mayor supports the ban and will sign it into law sometime next week. It goes into effect 30 days from when it is signed, which means by September, according to the city attorney's figures, 762 registered dispensaries and a couple hundred more unregistered facilities will be forced to close."

That is total BS, the public should have to vote to close the dispensaries. it was a public vote to have med MMJ, so i see it only as fair to have avote to ban them. Hope that mayor doesn't thimk she's gonna get re elected when the time comes. how far are the closest ones outside of LA county?

So this should take affect in about 30 days? I went to the club yesterday and everything seemed normal.

Thinkin it's about time to pick up a plant or two just in case things get weird...

He's not hating man, sarcastic yes, but not hating. LA and CA in general has gotten way out of control with the MMJ - you can't tell me otherwise because I'm seeing it all over the place here. There's nothing "medical" about most of these places. I think we should either fully legalize for everyone or scrap the med program and start over.
