Three competing measures will appear on the May 21, 2013, ballot in the City of Los Angeles in an attempt to regulate the city’s medical marijuana dispensaries. The Los Angeles City Council has attempted to regulate collectives for nearly 7 years, unsuccessfully, including a failed moratorium, a failed ban and hundreds of lawsuits against the City. Some frustrated dispensary operators have taken matters into their own hands with two legally shaky voter initiatives that may do more harm than good. The LA City Council has responded to these initiatives by voting to put its own measure on the ballot, which is about as legally sound as its past proposals.Full story with links to proposed measures:
