Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley and Los Angeles City Attorney Carmen Trutanich announced yesterday that several medical marijuana dispensaries are operating illegally throughout Los Angeles County and that their offices will begin to crack down on them immediately. Both assert that the dispensaries are violating California law simply by selling marijuana.
The Los Angeles County District Attorneys office is currently investigating about a dozen dispensaries in Los Angeles County and criminal charges could be filed against their owners shortly. However, there are currently hundreds more of these dispensaries throughout Los Angeles County, of which could also be targeted by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office as well as the Los Angeles City Attorneys office.
It will definitely be interesting to see how this clash between the dispensaries and the Los Angeles County District Attorneys office as well as the Los Angeles City Attorneys office plays out over the upcoming months. Wallin and Klarich will continue to monitor this issue very closely over the next few months.
