Over the past couple of years, the medical marijuana industry in Los Angeles has exploded. Estimates vary, but there may be as many as 800 dispensaries currently open for business in the city of angels. An ordinance recently passed by the LA city council, however, is about to change all that.

The new ordinance will force hundreds of dispensaries to close and all but a few to relocate. The goal was to bring clarity to the medical marijuana industry, but the only thing that's clear is that the transition process will be difficult.

Especially now that the DEA has begun raiding dispensaries again, despite the promises made by the Obama administration.

While federal, state and local governments struggle to make sense of medical marijuana laws, an increasing number of Californians support a completely different approach: marijuana legalization. Nothing more than a pipe dream? Maybe. But consider this: 56 percent of Californians currently support pot legalization, the same proportion of Californians who voted for the Compassionate Use Act, which legalized medical marijuana, back in 1996.

Produced by Paul Feine. Shot and edited by Alex Manning. Graphics by Hawk Jensen.

    CALIFORNIA the time is NOW to LEGALIZE. The legislature will NOT act the PEOPLE must bring legalization to California. Legalization ballot initiatives for the 2014 will need 504,760 qualified voter signatures to get onto the ballot and your help is needed. 2012 failed to collect enough signatures. Search the the560k to find out how you can help. The560k

    Our liberty is at stake. Abraham Lincoln said "A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." George Washington and other founding fathers grew hemp and it seems very likely used it for euphoric purposes. Cannabis is much safer than alcohol. In the last 30 years however there have been over 22 million arrests for cannabis, incarcerating non-violent offenders, and branding many youths lifelong criminals driving them to commit more crime.

    Glad I discovered this video. Fall in love with You tube for this type of content!

    My step brother was previously bullied. He explained he was planning to get bigger muscles. I chuckled... Then out of the blue he packed on 40 pounds of absolute muscle mass. He tried the Muscle Building Bible - look for it in Google. He does not get bullied any longer. I actually signed up last week. See what goes on. And this guys emails are fucking great...
