| Medical marijuana shops abound in California |
| 2009-11-05 |
| The medical marijuana dispensary in this California wine country town is in a former auto dealership, and has more registered patients than the town has residents. Los Angeles has more pot shops than Starbucks or schools. Thatsa lotsa glaucoma. Must all that California sun. The surge in medical marijuana in California has left many communities scrambling to regulate the free-for-all, while others are trying to ban the drug altogether. The issue took on greater urgency after the Obama administration announced looser federal marijuana guidelines last month. In Los Angeles -- the marijuana dispensary capital of the country -- about 800 dispensaries are estimated to have opened despite a 2007 order halting new pot operations. |
