RAND Retracts Report Showing Cannabis Dispensaries Lower Crime - Toke of the Town: "After "vocal criticism" from the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office, the RAND Corporation on Monday officially retracted its study "Regulating Medical Marijuana Dispensaries: An Overview with Preliminary Evidence of Their Impact on Crime," which was released in September.
Two weeks ago, RAND had pulled the study off its website and posted a notice that "This document has been withdrawn pending further review." Toke of the Town broke that story before it hit the national newswires.
"The L.A. City Attorney's office has been the organization most vocal in its criticism of the study, questioning its methods and conclusions," RAND media relations guy Warren Robak told Toke of the Town on October 11."
