Los Angeles Orders More Dispensaries to Close their Doors

Almost 150 dispensaries in Los Angeles were sent letters ordering their closure a few weeks ago. In an ever-widening campaign against medical marijuana dispensaries that are being declared “illegal” by Los Angeles city officials, 60 additional dispensaries received letters on Friday warning them they must immediately close their doors.

The new batch of letters from the city attorney’s office notified operators and their landlords that if they did not close, the office will be working with the police department to gather evidence used in court proceedings to shut them down.

Los Angeles City Council Reconsiders Dispensary Rules

The Los Angeles City Council is considering a measure that would allow about 140 medical marijuana dispensaries that were forced to close to reopen. The Los Angeles City Council passed a city ordinance in June to curb the growing number of dispensaries allowed to operate in the city. Almost 450 dispensaries were sent cease and desist letters and forced to close their doors.

The plan was to leave in place the 180 dispensaries that had registered with the city before a 2007 moratorium was passed.
