LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles voters may have to decide among three measures in the next election to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries.
Activists have qualified two measures for the May ballot and the City Council will decide Wednesday if a third should join them. Language for that plan is still being worked out.
The proposals would regulate and in some cases limit the number of dispensaries in town. Currently there are hundreds of clinics.
The City Council approved a total ban on clinics last year but that ban was rescinded after supporters qualified a ballot measure to overturn it.
The clinics still face federal and state prohibitions against marijuana sales.
