UPDATED:New Los Angeles Medical Marijuana Draft Ordinance

The Los Angeles city council is reviewing a new draft medical marijuana ordinance. This is the latest in a series of revisions that seeks to clarify under what conditions marijuana dispensaries can operate in the city.

This draft legalizes edibles, removes the requirement that dispensaries provide a list of members, but keeps in place a rule against marijuana sales. Under this ordinance, dispensaries must be 1,000 ft. from schools, parks, etc. According to the planning commission, that would make 3/4 of LA's hundreds of dispensaries illegal.

Let's hope LA can come up with a better ordinance that this, which lets them limit the number of dispensaries and imposes unrealistic restrictions on collectives.

Hmmm....I wonder if they are going to start taking down all the billboards for booze and start telling liquor stores/rx drug stores/fast food places they cant be within 1000 ft. of schools, parks, ect.

seems those things are way more detrimental to the youth of today than herb.

The proposal leaves in place a prohibition on the sale of marijuana, but it allows dispensaries to recover the "out-of-pocket costs of their collective cultivation."

Collective operators have repeatedly criticized the provision, saying it's unclear whether they would be able to continue to operate under that condition.

The folks that believe they are worth no less than $1300/hr are gonna be bummed.... :mad:

Those who are content to cap their salaries at $180k.year and provide evidence of their overhead are gonna be stoked :nanana:

I believe the original language doesn't specify the "out of pocket" part. Paying yourself for time and materials and requiring proof is a legit. Like I said; with some regional variance, not for profit can provide a reasonable and fair rate, and here is what I mean:

Salaries are capped at 180k or something like that but paying premiums/subscription/retainers for specialized services is reasonable if able to stand the scrutiny of review (prove these costs are market driven and result in the end product or service being delivered to a specific quality, or standard).

The policy makers are right when they believe that amatuer growers/breeders can produce the required quality and demand for medicinal application. Enterprisers attempting to make bank or be excessively compensated/remunerated for their risk of early adoption is valid, albeit short lived. The capitalism of non profits is a whole different story but at least it will give the majority of us interested enough to participate the most opportunity for this.

I dont see the tobacco inductry lining up for any non profit effort they dont believe is absolutuelty required for their own preservation.

Requiring spendersies to be 1000ft from schools is unreasonable???
allright Devo.

i dont see too much of a bad thing this is new plan being looked into...
1000ft from schools is reasonable i guess... in reality however there is always going to be access anywhere...
my personal opinion honestly is educate the truth about cannabis... hiding things only makes kids more curious and more at risk to do it and hide about it... more they are exposed the better off.... no i am not saysing give kids pot... just the sick ones...(dont take that last comment too damn serious, you the point i was making):joint:

Tomato farmers don't make $180K/year so IMO it's unreasonable to believe that pot growing would be any different in terms of out of pocket expenses for cultivation because if a tomato farmer can grow for much less that proves cultivation of a plant (any plant) can be done for much less.

Even the ordinance for schools is stupid. In the downtown area, there are elementary schools and parks on every block. There are establishments that sell alcohol and tobacco less than 500 feet. And they look like they have been there for decades.


Do they really think these dispensaries are trying to push bud to elementary kids?

It should be simple. Get rid of the shady ones. The ones that dont have any tax licenses and that do not verify patients.

The city of LA has 4 million documented residents. Thats documented, how many more "undocumented" residents are here. Now add all the residents in LA county.

800-1000 dispensaries is insignificant. There is no epidemic. People are acting like kindergarten kids are puffing on extracts and chomping on bud brownies.

The only people that are crying like little bitches are brainwashed regan retards and cry baby socialists that want there ideals to be forced down everybodys throat.

San Diego county has 3 millon residents (city 1.2 millon) and had 30 to maybe 40 dispensaries before the recent busts.

Comparatively speaking, yeah, it's an epidemic.

why the 180k cap? just curious how that figure was calculated. i think that is reasonable.

i think some cops on this board don't think it's reasonable. i guess they must be fighting crusades against big pharma and every other business in America.

Big Pharma has lots of expensive quality control for their product. That's one reason they can justify charging a lot.

Pot, not so much.

Your right, but what about the mold and pesticides ON that cannabis?

At least when you buy a pharmaceutical you know it's 100% pure even if the active chem might kill you.

Most pharma deaths are dosage related and interaction related BTW, not necessarily the active chem itself.

Not many people would be willing to buy from a dispensary that sells moldy weed, and the story would make its way around the respective town pretty quickly. Also, I don't know anyone who grows weed with pesticides. And even if a dispensary/co-op did it, people would notice pretty quickly and stop buying from there. The free market provides great quality control IMO, which is a principle that wouldn't work in the pharma industry since a majority of the meds sold there are patented and thus one company has a monopoly and could do whatever they wanted with it if it wasn't for rigorous quality control.

10 million residents in LA county. Stretch that around 800 dispensaries and its not that big of a deal.

Dont even compare SD to LA. The only thing in common is that they are both in socal.


Realistically.. its not even a real issue. With all the REAL issues surrounding LA county. The people that consider this an epidemic have gone full retard.

What is the point of all this? Its looking like the legalization bill is going to pass. I've spoken to numerous college students from all over socal. Wether we like it or not, its going to pass.

So WTF is the point of all this? Even if MMJ dispensaries are "pot shops" or not.

Comparatively speaking? I want to know when San Diego became the model for MMJ??


At 40 that's like 75,000 people per club. Say 30% of those residents could use MMJ for something...then that's still over 22,000 people per club. How the hell is that a basis for your statement?

You never cease to amaze me with your Bullshit
