Proposition D Passed in LA
This measure will decrease MMJ dispensaries in LA to 135 from almost 500 by forcing the closure any shops opened after 2007. What makes this measure so disturbing is that law makers pitted dispensaries against each other. Of course the grandfathered shops from before 2007 will want their competition to be shut down to increase their control of the market. Now instead of using violence as they did when cannabis was on the black market, the older dispensaries are using the law to do their bidding. The same thing happened in 2008 when California had full legalization on the ballot but the MMJ shops told everyone to vote against it in an effort to protect their business.

I'm just sick of it. The cannabis community needs to stick together to make legalization happen. Once the greenlight is lit ending prohibition, then the competitive shenanigans can ensue but until the the consumers suffer due to the greed.
