LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Los Angeles City Council may vote on a long-awaited medical marijuana ordinance on Wednesday that could force hundreds of dispensaries to close.
The ordinance seeks to prohibit the sale of marijuana at clinics that have sprouted across the city over the past year.
The ordinance would allow collectives, where pot is grown by members, to remain open but have to be at least 1,000 feet from schools, churches and hospitals.
City Attorney Carmen Trutanich and county District Attorney Steve Cooley recently said they would target stores that are profiting and selling to people who don't qualify for medicinal marijuana.
In 1996, California voters approved a ballot measure that allowed sick people with referrals from doctors and an identification card to smoke pot.
