"I urge Administrator (Asa) Hutchinson to respect our city's approach to medical marijuana, Which has reduced crime, saved money and contributed to public well-being," District Attorney Terence Hallinan said Monday. "Any move to close the dispensaries will result in sick people trying to get marijuana from street vendors, whose product may or may not be safe." Federal agents searched the Los Angeles Cannabis Resource Center on Oct. 22 and seized computers, financial documents, 400 marijuana plants and medical records of some 3,000 current and former patients, said Scott Imler. a resident. - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
