2 in most every post, forget about what LA wants just consider this just about every behavior that you have posted that they do is illegal, get it. Who cares what LA says or wants. If they are breaking CA law, and also federal law they can and will get busted. By the way many LA clubs do get raided still.

Sure, but my sister just got pulled over in LA with an ounce of weed, a pipe, and her card and didn't even get a ticket. The cop didn't tell her anything. Sure clubs get raided, and alcohol bars get in trouble for serving minors, liquor stores get in trouble for selling kids cigarettes. All these places have to be monitored, just the way it is. They need to update the cannabis laws in this country, and they most likely will at some point. But it has been decriminalized since the seventies already in CA.
Who cares what LA wants? LA is a pretty influential city in California, and the state needs them too and their money. Hollywood owns California.

Way to many are just operating as legal drug fronts. Legally they need to be not for profit, or non profit. Yes you can make money as such but again most clubs are not following such rules yet again.

and you know this how...? Sure people are breaking rules, no doubt. But Rite Aid sure isn't a non profit business, why should a marijuana pharmacy be non profit?

There is only 1 city really doing it right currently and that is Oakland. Yes before you even ask or assume I have visited clubs in just about every county in CA.

yeah, Oakland voted on a tax, good for them.

Let me add, I am not against paying taxes on it and it being a legal business. I know its pretty wild what is going on in LA right now, but they will tame it and tax it, etc.
Seriously, as someone who has been a part of the cannabis culture of Los Angeles pretty much my entire life because I was born to two pot heads in the seventies, I think it is awesome the city is doing this because millions of money is/was made by flakey pot dealers and I personally became tired of dealing with them just to get a little weed. I've known too many shady dealers and it is about time they go forward with more legalization.
I am all for it being regulated just like alcohol and pills.
