Three initiatives on the May 21 ballot deal with ways to
regulate medical marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles, but a California
Supreme Court ruling made on Monday has changed the game.
In 2010, the city of Riverside used zoning laws to declare
medical marijuana dispensaries a public nuisance which banned all
operations in the city. A Riverside dispensary sued the city and the
case made it to the California Supreme Court.
The court sided with Riverside stating that cities can use
local zoning laws to prohibit all medical marijuana dispensary
operations in Monday
