Wendy Greuel supports Proposition D, medical cannabis control measure

Wendy Greuel, currently City Controller of Los Angeles and one of the two remaining candidates seeking to be elected Mayor of the city on May 21, 2013, today issued this endorsement of Proposition D, a measure on that day’s municipal ballot that would authorize the continued operation of cannabis dispensaries established prior to the passage of the city’s Interim Control Ordinance of 2007.  Here’s what she said:

 

“I think when people voted in the state of California to allow medical marijuana, they thought they would go to their local CVS pharmacy and get it. They didn't think about the impact it would have on neighborhoods. The bottom line is we have a right to regulate where marijuana clinics are in the city of Los Angeles. The public is demanding that the government actually do their job. That's why I support Measure D.”
