The lack of clarity in the laws governing medical marijuana in California has led to the inevitable: litigation.  The LA County District Attorney has declared that “about 100%” of medical marijuana dispensaries are illegal because the Attorney General’s Guidelines do not explicitly permit sales.  They only permit patients and their caregivers to grow marijuana cooperatively and recoup the costs from the members of the cooperative.  Follow this link for the full story.

In related news, in spite of the federal attorney general’s pledge not to prosecute state law compliant medical marijuana dispensaries, there have been several recent raids in California and Washington.  Follow this link to a New York Times Magazine article about the difficulties caused by the conflict between state and federal medical marijuana law.
