The Los Angeles City Council will vote on an interim control ordinance (ICO) establishing a moratorium on new medical cannabis collectives in the city at their meeting on Wednesday, July 25. The ICO is the first step in developing sensible regulations for collectives. Our research shows that adopting regulations reduces crime and nuisance activity around facilities, while helping to improve neighborhoods (see below). ASA members and other advocates have worked hard to be sure that the City of Los Angeles will join dozens of cities and seven counties that have already adopted guidelines.
The issue of regulating collectives has taken on new urgency since the DEA stepped up it’s attack on patients’ access in the last two weeks. The DEA has sent as many as one hundred letters threatening property owners who rent to collectives and raided two Southern California facilities. These attacks coincided with four high-profile medical cannabis indictments and an important vote in Congress on funding anti-medical cannabis law enforcement. City Council members are to be commended for pursuing regulations in light of the federal pressure to roll back safe access. ASA members and advocates are urged to attend Wednesday’s City Council meeting to show support for medical cannabis patients, sensible regulations, and the victims of the DEA attacks over the last two weeks: What: LA City Council Meeting When: Wednesday, July 25 at 10:00 AM Where: 200 N. Spring Street, Room 340, Los Angeles, CA 90012 Arrive early to find paid parking in the Los Angeles Mall (enter on Los Angeles St.) and complete a public speaker’s card if you wish to address to City Council. There will be a press conference before Wednesday’s meeting to discuss the ICO and the DEA pressure in LA. Details will follow tomorrow afternoon. |
