Yup. You heard it right. The LA City Council… in a rash, pretty much draconian proposal, wants to outlaw access to medical marijuana unless you are part of a collective and work there, i.e. grow your own. In effect, this would close down all the dispensaries operating now.
If you are a seriously ill patient, or someone who doesn’t have the time to grow your own…. forget about getting easy access to your medicine. This new ordinance would also outlaw edibles and concentrates, items that every single cancer patient I know uses. It would prohibit the sale of medical marijuana and any edibles.
If you care about this at all…. please write your city council person today and request that they reject this new ordinance. It is titled, “Third Revised Draft Ordinance Establishing Regulations Regarding Medical Marijuana Collectives”.

Eric Garcetti is President of the City Council… write him and let him know your views… and Eric, I hope you are reading this. We need input and a fair draft of this ordinance by patients, citizens, dispensary owners…. not just the City Attorney and the police department. This proposal violates all the rights patients have worked so hard to achieve.
