Federal prosecutors are now fighting medical marijuana shops in Los Angeles after city officials struggled to stop a proliferation of dispensaries.
Three property owners that house pot collectives were sued by the U.S. attorney’s office which also sent warning letters to 68 others as they enforce a federal law that doesn’t recognize a California initiative that legalized pot for medicinal use.
This move came as the city’s own ban on pot shops is being challenged and could be overturned by voters if a referendum is placed on an upcoming ballot.
Los Angeles passed an ordinance two years ago that was supposed to shutter hundreds of pot dispensaries while capping the number in operation at 70.
However, a set of legal challenges against the city by collectives and the recent expiration of the ordinance due to a sundowner clause led to another surge of pot shops. City officials said more than 750 collectives have registered with the city and as many as 200 more could exist.
According to Thailand criminal defense lawyers , using marijuana for medicinal purposes is illegal in Thailand, even if a person possesses a medical prescription from a jurisdiction where medicinal marijuana is legal. If found in possession of marijuana in Thailand otherwise known as ‘ganja’ a person can be fined or jailed depending on the amount and what they were using it for.
