The council will vote tonight on an ordinance that bans the dispensaries from opening in the city. Huntington Beach is one of several cities that in the last several years has shied away from an 11-year-old law enacted by voters that allows medical marijuana dispensaries to open and operate in the state.Violence? I doubt it.
Huntington has no medical marijuana dispensaries. The closest legal medical marijuana dispensaries are located in Los Angeles.
Mayor Gil Coerper said he believes there are better alternatives than medical marijuana to ease the pain of illnesses. He said medical marijuana dispensaries can promote violence.
