An aide says Mike Antonovich is concerned about crime and the outlets’ effect on residents and businesses. Last week, two L.A. pot store workers were killed.
Worried that unincorporated Los Angeles County could increasingly be favored by medical marijuana dispensaries excluded from other areas, Supervisor Mike Antonovich on Tuesday proposed a ban on the outlets, which would reverse a four-year-old county policy.
Aides to Antonovich noted that many cities in the county have banned dispensaries or imposed moratoriums and the city of Los Angeles is trying to shut down about 400. The supervisor’s office has received at least a dozen inquiries from Los Angeles dispensaries looking to move to the county.
