LA Notified 140 Medical Marijuana Dispensaries to Close Immediately
Stepping up its drive to close pot shops, the Los Angeles city attorney’s office has notified operators of 140 medical marijuana dispensaries that they must close immediately.
The office sent letters to the concerned dispensaries whose owners did not file applications by the February 18 deadline to participate in a lottery to choose 100 shops that will operate in the city. The office received 228 applications, which are being reviewed to make sure they meet qualifications. One of the requisites is having been operational since September 14, 2007.
Assistant city attorney Asha Greenberg has warned that violators could be sued and could face penalties. LAPD will also investigate the shops that don’t follow the order immediately.

Marijuana is the safest drug with actual benefits for the user as opposed to alcohol which is dangerous, causes addiction, birth defects, and affects literally every organ in the body. Groups are organizing all over the country to speak their minds on reforming pot laws. I drew up a very cool poster for the cause which you can check out on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/01/vote-teapot-2011.html Drop in and let me know what you think!
