ASA*:*Eight Lake Forest Marijuana Dispensaries Closed
Torrance
CA: Torrance council rejects medical marijuana shops | Marijuana.com
These are the only two incidents that I have personal knowledge of. I was at the Torrance City Hall meeting demanding that the dispensaries close. I have relatives in Lake Forest who were among those demanding the dispensaries close.
When there were more medical marijuana "clinics" in Los Angeles than Starbucks, LA cracked down and started their own mass closings.

From your link: "Lake Forest zoning code prohibits operations that are not specifically noted in the code, or anything that violates state or federal law, said Debra Rose, Lake Forest deputy city manager.
The marijuana dispensaries operating out of the strip malls second floor fall under both categories, Rose said."
Crime rate? No mention in the first article.
No I think you would have to live in Lake Forest to have experienced that. The residents would use anything to get rid of the dispensaries. If, in fact, the dispensaries had been of any benefit at all, no one would have complained.
I was at the City Council meeting in Torrance to close the dispensaries. It was more than standing room only with the crowd out the doors and on the lawn.
What does it take to get a crowd that size? How fed up do people have to be?
In a drug using progressive city like Los Angeles, what does it take for enough people to complain before there is a crack down?
Well it's up to Lake Forest City Council again as their zoning law reason for shutting down these businesses was struck down on appeal.
