Medicinal
marijuana users can count on getting their products from the same
dispensaries as before now that the marijuana ban that was set to start
in less than a week has been suspended.
Supporters
of medicinal marijuana delivered 50,000 signatures to the City Clerk’s
Office, who have 15 days to authenticate a minimum of 27,425
signatures. After authentication the law is sent back to City Council,
where they will have 20 days to repeal the ban or set it to a vote on
the March 5, 2013 ballot.
Mayor
Antonio Villaragosa signed the ban into effect on Aug. 1, which stated
all medicinal marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles County must close by
Sept. 6.
Under the
suspended law, individuals who use medical marijuana would no longer be
able to purchase their products in a monitored environment. The
dispensaries offer a legal alternative to getting their product, instead
of the street corner or through a dealer.
Under California law,
some medical marijuana users are allowed to grow marijuana in their own
homes for personal use. Many marijuana advocates have said this is too
expensive for many patients, with costs beginning at $5,000, according
to the L.A. Times.
While the
vote to pass this ban was unanimous, Councilman Paul Koretz is trying to
pass a proposal that would keep shops that were established before 2007
open in Los Angeles, which is roughly 180. Americans for Safe Access is trying to get the bill overturned.
Patient Care Alliance Los Angeles also filed a lawsuit on Aug. 17 against the city to overturn the ban, according to NBC 4.
