California Pot Shop Laws: Gov. Brown Gives Cities The Power
The “Wild West” days of medical marijuana dispensaries are now over, courtesy of a new law signed by Governor Jerry Brown.
Bill AB 1300 (PDF), proposed by Assemblyman Bob Blumenfield of Woodland Hills, allows cities to regulate the medical marijuana dispensaries in their area. It also allows cities to file civil or criminal claims against them for violations.
Blumenfield told the Los Angeles Times, “the new law will provide a framework for stability after years of struggling with a Wild West, lawless proliferation of dispensaries across California that sometimes constitute a public nuisance or worse.”
