<p>State oversight would help clarify new regulations</p>
LOS ANGELES, CA – Yesterday, the citizens of Los Angeles voted to regulate medical marijuana by voting to pass Proposition D, one of three medical marijuana regulation measures on the ballot. The Proposition received 62.57% of the vote. Proposition D caps the number of collectives at those who opened prior to 2007, about 130, raises the gross receipts tax from $ 50 to $ 60 per $ 1000 of gross receipts, and establishes the distances they must keep from schools, parks, one another and residential neighborhoods.
