The battle against the lucrative business of illegal marijuana dispensaries in California I ABC7

There are 874 licensed marijuana dispensaries after 21 months of legalization, according to the Bureau of Cannabis Control. The number of unlicensed dispensaries dwarfs that — by a lot. We went on a ride-along as two East L.A. dispensaries were shut down.

  12. Gene on November 13, 2021 at 1:12 pm

    1st off .. nobody outside of middle school smokes foil..
    2nd: ya’ll need to stop bullying the free market especially when it sells a harmless product.
    3rd: Why don’t you fascist bootlickers go bully the hundreds of fortune 500 companies who paid ZERO taxes in 2018 & 2019 https://itep.org/corporate-tax-avoidance-in-the-first-year-of-the-trump-tax-law/

    4th: that dumbass sheriff lady saying "omg dangerous amounts of THC we’re saving lives here." I can deconstruct that statement in so many ways to expose the sheer amount of stupidity & ignorance it takes to not just use that excuse, but to believe it. but I won’t waste my time because im sure WE ALL ROLLED OUR EYES OUT OF OUR SOCKETS when we heard that…

    They’re lying there going after the medical marijuana shops cuz only want Rec



  31. frosty mutt on November 13, 2021 at 1:42 pm

    Unless a state allows a person to grow their own cannabis for personal use they are all setting them selves up for lawsuits…. Just look at e-cigs many have gotten sick and some have died all because proper testing was not done… Any state that says you have to go buy from dispensaries are taking full responsibility that what you are getting won’t make you sick.
    (In most state’s the health department is in charge of medical cannabis)



  32. Chris Walker on November 13, 2021 at 1:42 pm

    Stop buying from these elite freaks getting rich it’s all a game they saw how much street dealers were making and took it over



  33. Dewayne Thomas on November 13, 2021 at 1:43 pm

    She need to stop cigarettes, that’s killing people



  34. Alan Juillerat on November 13, 2021 at 1:45 pm

    Say no to drugs



  35. Cozmo Robot Show on November 13, 2021 at 1:45 pm

    the bitches argument is that kids could get a hold of the weed, but yet… people buy cigarettes, alcohol, if kids get a hold of it then it’s the idiots that buy it and give it to the kids, not the places selling it. are kids walking into those places? probably not. and that is truly a shame how much weed is being taken away which i’m guessing the cops just turn around and smoke it with their friends free of charge since what else is going to be done with it? sit in an evidence locker for a couple of decades?



  36. Nick Task’s on November 13, 2021 at 1:47 pm

    Why having people get sick and die from marijuana what you’re saying lab tests but you’re fucking bullshit



  37. james hazen on November 13, 2021 at 1:48 pm
