got it. wasn't aware the city of los angeles taxed businesses. i guess i haven't been paying that one.
business permit? free in los angeles county
building rental fees? go to the owner, not the city.
insurance? again, to a private entity.
fact is, the city doesn't make anything off dispensaries at this point, thus my comment earlier, los angeles should follow the lead set by oakland and berkeley.
regards.
