Long Beach to repeal medical marijuana law, ban dispensaries - Press-Telegram

Long Beach to repeal medical marijuana law, ban dispensaries - Press-Telegram: "LONG BEACH — Told by the Court of Appeal that it can't regulate marijuana collectives considered illegal under federal law, Long Beach intends to obey - and act to ban dispensaries within city limits.

According to City Attorney Robert Shannon, the Long Beach City Council on Tuesday requested in closed session that he draft two ordinances: one repealing the 1-year-old medical marijuana permit law and refunding about $700,000 in fees collected, and another that bars storefront dispensaries.

The council also announced it would appeal the court's decision to the California Supreme Court to seek clarification on the city's powers to control the selling of medical marijuana."
