Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Can Accept Money
Wed, Nov 25, 2009 5:15 pm
Some positive news came out of the L.A. City Council’s meeting Tuesday. No, they still haven’t passed an ordinance. However, councilmembers rejected the city attorney’s suggestion that, as nonprofit businesses, medical marijuana dispensaries should not be allowed to accept money. Such a policy could have had a crippling effect on medical marijuana in Los Angeles as most dispensaries would have been forced to close while those that defied the ordinance and continued selling medicine to patients would have been in direct violation and therefore subject to raids.
Still, despite the positive step, the council did approve an amendment that restricts membership – meaning patients and caregivers can only belong to one collective (although there is a provision for "emergency purchases")
Additionally, much remains undecided and/or hazy including issues regarding police access to patients’ medical records, the dispensary “cap” number, which dispensaries would fall under that cap and buffer zone restriction distances.
The council hopes to iron out some of the more divisive issues next week.

1
Millions of ruined men, jailed or robbed by wives or girlfriends, deprived of children, houses, turned into monthly bonded laborers, even driven to suicide.
2
Millions of their babies, killed before or after birth, because mothers had calculated that exploitation of their fathers or taxpayers would not bring enough money.
3
Millions of bastardized children; even the most worthless woman can take children from the best father, neglect, abuse and even kill them, without punishment.
4
Millions of grandparents deprived of their grandkids - Angry mother can, at whim, completely legally, deprive her child of 1/2 family as revenge against the father.
5
Millions of taxpayers, incl. bachelors and gays, paying 1/2 of their taxes for single moms’ ghettoes, anti-men projects and deviancy of fatherless armies on our streets.
6
Millions of war victims of feminist imperialism against Moslem countries and other traditional societies, under the pretext of terrorism, drugs or prodemocracy war.
7
Millions of aging, single women lost best things in life that money they plundered can’t buy and their judges can’t order; Secret goal of feminist heterophobia?
No machist dictatorship imaginable can inflict even 1% of feminist violence and social destruction. Our female ruling class & their collaborators are biggest criminals in history.
Fight for gender equality!
Fight, to bring feminist barbarians and their hired guns to justice, to pay for their crimes & for the blood they spilled!

The million(plus) dollars thrown at keeping the facts under wraps was apparently sufficent .
Judge Carters peers are considering censur actions as they smell a rat .
SO . why would old Barry drop a million plus dollars to hide the facts ? No need to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out .
Hang on America , it ain't over yet !

I understand that it takes money to pay electricity and people have to have money to eat that run the dispensaries, but they are running these dispensaries to make big profits. It should be about helping people like THEY CLAIM. These dispensaries could cut their prices in FREAKIN HALF and still get by, then...it would truly be helping the sick and ailing.
Why pay street prices inside of a dispensary? If your able to grow your own.....DO IT !!! these dispensaries take advantage of the movement. I can't see how people flock to them and pay the insane prices. It's so easy to grow your own. Herb should be totally legal, if it ever is , I would imagine that an OUNCE of primo grade A ganja would run around $100, now that would be awesome.

That point made, why is the Obama administration not taking their (AMA) recommendations since it would immediately soften the public's monetary tax burden.
You were obviously using the AMA's previous recommendations to support the prohibition of cannabis, so what's up Mr. President, how come you won't use the AMA's current recommendation?
