California in Need of Marijuana Reform

 

Governor Jerry Brown signed three bills in October, which allowed for a statewide system to manage medical marijuana in California. According to Brown, it was a long-overdue framework that would “make sure patients have access to medical marijuana while ensuring a robust tracking system.” What he should have also said is that “Everywhere in the state, except Los Angeles,” because California’s strict licensing phase will not apply to the biggest city. Furthermore, under the new laws of the state, if Los Angeles does not change the rules that are currently in place, all marijuana shops in the city will be illegal in two years.

In other words, it is possible that there’s considerably more turmoil ahead for this present city as of now incredibly riotous medical cannabis administration. It took almost two decades after people in California passed the Compassionate Use Act for the state to receive a thorough framework to control the development, transportation and offering of medicinal pot — and now it will reject 10% of the state’s populace and a noteworthy bit of the cannabis commercial center, and come into an apparently immovable clash with the city’s latest push to deal with the circumstance.

Los Angeles fizzled numerous times to manage therapeutic cannabis, yet at long last in 2013, it passed Proposition D., the measure that permitted 135 dispensaries, all of which had been doing business for no less than six years, to stay open while banning others. However, in a confused, lawyerly move, the measure did not allow those 135 dispensaries to work — which lawful specialists said, at the time, the city couldn’t do in light of the fact that cannabis stays prohibited under government law. Prop D just said the city would not indict those 135 shops. For this reason, there clearly needs to be a change in California’s laws.
