In a unanimous vote by the Los Angeles City Council this afternoon, a loop hole in a medical marijuana moratorium was filled. "Hopefully that will bring this matter to success," said Councilman Dennis Zine, a former LAPD officer. Although a ban on new medical marijuana dispensaries went into effect in 2007, the hardship exemption language created a loophole, prompting over 500 new storefronts to pop up around the city. With today's action, hardship exemptions will no longer be an option for new medical marijuana dispensaries. UPDATE: The six month extension may have not actually gone through, we are awaiting confirmation on that item. Stay tuned...

bah, screw you city council. I personally think a taxable business is much better than a drug dealer but Dennis Zine knows best right?
That's the problem. The City Council hasn't come up with any rules or regs to license, tax, or regulate, any of the cannabis dispensaries, and they've had nearly 13 years since Prop 215 passed to do so.
And we pay these folks how much?
I believe they're the ones who make 'the big bucks.'
