When the Los Angeles City Council finishes its marijuana ordinance, it is likely to inflame this increasingly contentious debate over how the drug can be distributed. The conflict hinges on the state’s 2003 medical marijuana law and almost entirely on a single sentence. “The law’s screwed up in a lot of ways. There’s big gaping holes,” said Yamileth Bolanos, who runs PureLife Alternative Wellness Center and is one of the city’s most politically involved operators. “It’s very confusing for everyone, even the prosecution and law enforcement. It’s like the Bible, everybody reads it the way they want to.” – Los Angeles Times
