LA doesn’t need buffer zones
Thursday, January 14th, 2010On Wednesday, the Los Angeles City Council debated how far medical cannabis collectives must be located from sensitive and residential uses. The Council failed to reach a consensous on buffer zones around a laudry list of sensitives uses, including schools, public parks, public libraries, religious institutions, licensed child care facilities, youth centers, substance abuse rehabilitation centers, and other medical cannabis collectives. They will choose between a 500 or 1,000-foot buffer zone next Tuesday – a situation medical cannabis patient and advocate Cheryl Aichel described as a “sucker’s choice” during the public comments portionof the City Council meeting.
