CITY OF HAWTHORNE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA BILL

LA's South Bay Has Become One of California's Last Pockets of Marijuana Prohibition

As most of California is making it easier to get marijuana, the cities of Los Angeles's South Bay are moving fast to shut down even legal weed sales and use. In anticipation of state legislators' plans to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes, several South Bay cities—which seem to be in deep opposition to weed in all its forms—are mounting an offensive of "sweeping bans on every kind of marijuana dispensary and delivery service, cultivation and manufacturing process."

MEDICAL LAW - While treating physicians today are cautious about prescribing an addictive course of narcotics, the materiality of medical marijuana, when lawfully prescribed, has yet to be finally adjudicated

Accordingly, we may now ask, from the point of view of the claimant, is it easier or harder
to qualify for benefits if you are clean and sober?

"Does it make sense to seek treatment? I leave, for the reader’s consideration, whether the evidentiary analysis prescribed in SSR 13-2p leads to results that are consistent with the CAAA, whether the results were intended by the drafters of the ruling, or whether better results might be obtained from a different interpretation of statute and case law. " - David J.Agatstein is a Social Security Administrative Law Judge

California: The Non-Friendly Cannabis State?

"Strip clubs, liquor stores and hourly rate hotels are all good in the South Bay area, but cannabis is another issue altogether."

In the last two months, Torrance, Manhattan Beach, Hawthorne, Lawndale and Gardena have all issued sweeping cannabis bans. Hermosa Beach, El Segundo and Rancho Palos Verdes are all conspiring to do the same. All of these bans are essentially overkill, since the South Bay area had already banned cannabis several years ago.

Important Advisory and Disclaimer:  Before acting on any marijuana related issue under discussed here or otherwise, it is strongly recommended that the reader confirm the ultimate accuracy of their information source.  In many cases, your City Hall official website provides  the important information most people want, permits, startups, ordinances and other MMJ matters.  If you are involved in a serious matter that involves marijuana; criminal, or business;  we advise you to contact a lawyer that specializes in California Cannabis Law and move forward intelligently..
