Can cities regulate Medical marijuana dispensaries through zoning laws? Listen to Jessica Levinson, Associate clinical professor at Loyola Law School (Los Angeles, CA), describe her thoughts on this issue.

Riverside is trying to ban marijuana dispensaries but a group of MMJ activists say “No you don’t” thanks to Proposition 215 (Compassionate Use Act). What are cities options regarding medical marijuana? We have to wait for a court decision from the California Supreme Court. Other medical marijuana states and the Feds will be watching this decision unfold and assess how to move forward.
