Hello, LA-ASA Members and Friends. I hope to see you at the rescheduled Los Angeles City Council Meeting and the LA-ASA meeting and legal training this week. The details are below…
Los Angeles City Council Meeting
The Los Angeles City Council delayed a vote on amendments to the medical cannabis ordinance earlier. They are scheduled to vote on the item tomorrow. If they do, the clock will start ticking towards the effective date of the state’s toughest medical cannabis ordinance. Patients and advocates will be there asking the City Council to make need changes in the ordinance.
Arrive early to complete a Public Speaker’s card to address the City Council during Public Comments about the need to improve the ordinance in general. Please note that you may only talk about the fees and closely related issues if you submit a Public Speaker’s card for agenda item number 77 on the continuation agenda. You can speak twice if you wish.

Los Angeles City Council Meeting
| By Americans for Safe Access | Published April 9, 2010 |
Hello, LA-ASA Members and Friends. The Los Angeles City Council will vote on fees for the medical cannabis ordinance on Tuesday, April 13. Once the fees are approved, the clock will start ticking towards the effective date of the toughest medical cannabis regulations in the state. These regulations will force most of the city’s patients’ associations to close.
There is still a lot of work to be done to make the ordinance workable for patients in LA. Can you take a moment to contact your representative on the Los Angeles City Council in today or tomorrow and let them know this important work is not finished? Ask your representative to let legal collectives with no neighborhood complaints stay where they are. Get contact information and details at:

After making that call, please join us for the City Council meeting on Friday:
