“It seems clear to me that the (Los Angeles City) council intends to ignore the advice of their attorney and authorize (medical cannabis) sales in some respect, though not for profit sales. They also seem certain to cap the total number of legal dispensaries, though whether it will be approximately 70 (a number many of them liked, from a city planner) or as many as 400 (argued for by some medical pot activists) remains to be seen. Developing, as they say.”
So writes Brian Doherty in this blog post from Reason.com, with a promise of a more detailed article to come about the legal evolution of L.A.’s new pot shop law. He notes how the council seems intent on bucking the advice of its own attorney, while L.A. County District Attorney Steve Cooley plans to buck the new ordinance and bust any and all pot shops where cash changes hands. Special kudos to Doherty for using “concomitant” in a sentence, correctly no less.
