Dispensaries raided by police

Police officers searching a dispensary. 
  • Law enforcement have been raiding medical dispensaries. 
  • One way law enforcement is getting rid of dispensaries is by putting restrictions on them. Restrictions such as: 
  • By not having them  near schools and parks. 
  • Places of worship
  • Residential areas
  • These restrictions are good and bad. Good because they aren't near places where children are. But they're bad because law enforcement is limiting the number of dispensaries where patients can get their medicine. 


    • Under the city's interpretation of the ordinance, which  allowed dispensaries that registered with Los Angeles by Nov. 13, 2007, to apply to stay open, but it required them to have "the same ownership and management." 
    • If a dispensary's manager died, quit or was fired and was then replaced, it must close.
    • If the business grew and added managers, it must close.
    • If it shrank and let managers go, it must close.
    • If it was sold to new owners, it must close.
    • If you want to read about how law enforcement is trying to shut down dispensaries, take a look at this article below:
