LA Weekly article outlines Los Angeles City Council failures on regulating Medical Marijuana Dispensaries. Click here for LA Weekly's "L.A.'s Medical-Weed Wars" article.
Atwater Village has three remaining medical marijuana dispensaries which continue to operate despite 2007 city wide moratorium and a recent City Council action that denied or caused them to withdraw their hardship exemption requests to remain open.
On June 9th, 2009 the L.A. City Council, including Council President Eric Garcetti (CD13), voted to deny the hardship exemption applications of L.A. Collective (3401 Glendale Boulevard - CF 05-0872-S215) and Global Meds Collective (3425 Glendale Boulevard - CF 05-0872-S282). While Atwater Alternative Care Collective (3106 Glendale Boulevard - CF 05-0872-S435) withdrew its hardship exemption applications prior to the City Council vote.
With their hardship exemption applications either denied or withdrawn it was expected that the Department of Building & Safety would refer all cases to the City Attorney's office for prosecution to force their immediate closure.
To date all three marijuana dispensaries continue to operate unabated and in total defiance of both the 2007 moratorium and their hardship exemption denials.
