First, I think it insane to, on one hand, justify the existance of these dispensaries as 'medical,' not unlike a pharmacy, yet at the same time treat them, and their patients, as though they were a criminal blight.  It can't be both. 

 

Ultimately, what we need is for the Federal government to realize that their current grouping of MJ into the same category as heroin is no longer defensible, and should be changed.  It should be reclassified as a safe medical product, or declassified entirely. 

 

Until that happens, all this local BS will persist.

 

Lastly, does anyone know how much it costs to get a permit from the City?  Someone said it was over $10k!!!

i have a card and the letter of the law sez that u should carry your dr. signed paper work and proper id to purchase it. the weight of your purchase is on the container provided, much like your # of pills for a reg. prescrip. if stopped by police and searched they could ask for id and weigh it and compare to label. if its short, u could be in trouble. ridiculous as it sounds, u can only legally consume it in your own residence, registerd hotel room,etc. not a friends, your car (duh!), on the street corner, etc. people who light up near a dispensary need to be incarcerated in a facility for the criminally stupid! and i dont mean the stoopid that u get from smoking (or eating, they also sell all kinds of edibles - rice krisper treats, lollipops and others), just plain ol stupid.

There are more liquor stores in long beach that create bigger problems the the  co ops  around town. Let our police and  Local government deal with real issues in the city such as homelessness and jobs. I have never seen people who just smoke creating a problem. A lady early replied she was not sure she like the atmosphere it created in her neighborhood. Maybe should try living near 5 bars in a 6 block radius. Always fighting ,drunk and lost in our neighborhood, all congregated outside to smoke using really bad language. I just really see  a bias when it comes to the Chronic.Do some home work see why it was every classified a drug  and why it still????? How alcohol impact you as a kid??? Most of tried first drink as a teenager so I am sure many smoke or try MJ as well. There are many worse things in our society that impact our children more like TV and violence and sex and many have no problem with that. Funny that people are a arrested and jailed for pot plants.I am sure some agree or dis agree is cool  this is the US Check out the link of the article and you decide

My grandmother lives within blocks of the bust & there are a number of dispensaries in the area. Few have closed, but the other's who've sustain haven't post any threat. I'm aware of one of them even being robbed, but didn't alarm nor scare the neighborhood. Homeowners organizations & community awareness has kept the presence of law enforcement which has supported area. Most dispensaries & growers who are abiding with the ordinance haven't been compromised, but obviously those who don't have been.
