LA City "Medical Pot" ordinance

An ordinance that would outlaw most of the estimated 1,000 medical marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles will be discussed Monday at a joint session of the City Council's Public Safety and Planning and Land Use committees. Under the proposed ordinance, medical marijuana "collectives'' would be allowed to grow pot for members with serious illnesses, but could not sell marijuana for a profit, and collectives could have no more than five pounds of dried pot or 100 plants at any given time.
