LA Marijuana Dispensaries Get Reprieve

Activists are poised to gut the ban at the polls if the city doesn't do it first

|

Today was the day L.A.'s loathed ban on medical marijuana dispensaries was to start.

But yesterday was the day that the L.A. City Attorney's office, long a foe of weed sellers across town, admitted that this ban ain't happening for now. Official so.

The office released a letter by none other than City Hall attorney-in-chief Carmen Trutanich that acknowledges the reprieve.
