LA Resists Legalization while Outside Cities Open f/Businesshttps://www.marijuanaresources.com/los-angeles-government-resists-legalization/
Excerpts from above: Outside of major cities, in places such as Oakland and Adelanto, the cannabis industry appears to be a new found source of economic growth. Adelanto is working to sell off land to cannabis cultivators as a prime place to grow the plant.
Los Angeles itself, however, has not been so accommodating. The city is refusing to issue business licenses to cannabis related businesses. Instead they are planning to give out “certificates of compliance” to businesses that plan to sell the plant. This means that these businesses will be given “limited immunity” allowing them to operate within the city, so long as they comply with state and city laws and regulations when it comes to marijuana. No such certificate of compliance exists for cultivators, testers or producers of edibles and other marijuana related products. The businesses will need to operate outside city limits.
