I can’t even believe that there are 762 pot clinics in Los Angeles. That’s more than the number of gas stations. Way more than the number of 7-11s in the city. Marijuana was legalized to reap in all the gazillions of taxes that were available from potheads and their favorite herb. But as it turns out, there is no money in it and all 762 clinics have now been banned. For the Lulz I’m sure.

From the DailyNews here:

After years of controversy over medical marijuana, the Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday decided to ban every clinic in the city.

The 14-0 decision came after some five hours of debate, including three hours behind closed doors, as well as passionate opposing testimony from medical marijuana advocates and neighbors frustrated by the problems the clinics create.

City Councilman Jose Huizar, a co-author of the ban, said the city has simply been unable to properly control the dispensaries. In Eagle Rock, for example, he said, there are 13 clinics. “That’s too many for such a small area,” Huizar said. “All we hear are complaints about the number of dispensaries and the problems around them.”

The number of clinics has grown to 762 registered with the city, and possibly hundreds more that are believed to be unregistered.

Of course potheads smoke pot and of course they aren’t paying taxes on it. And it is not a shock to me that a pot clinic in your neighborhood is about as bad for property values as living next to a crematorium or a pig farm. The experiment with legalized marijuana in LA now seems to be over and the results is that it is a stupid idea.
