County considers selling pot-laced food

Offering paraphernalia at medical marijuana dispensaries raises concerns, delaying more facility permits.

Questions about whether Los Angeles County should allow medical marijuana dispensaries to sell pipes, marijuana-laced brownies and other products stalled a proposal Wednesday to create permits that would allow the facilities in unincorporated areas.

At a hearing held by the Regional Planning Commission, commissioners also expressed concerns about where dispensaries should be located in relation to schools and liquor stores, whether on-site smoking should be allowed, and whether the facilities should have security officers, among other topics.

Of 11 people who addressed the commissioners at Wednesday's hearing, none spoke against the proposal. The only opposition to the ordinance came from Commissioner Pat Modugno, who raised concerns about the conflict between federal and state laws on marijuana use.

Though federal law still prohibits any use of marijuana, Californians passed Proposition 215 in 1996, legalizing the use of marijuana as medicine, along with dispensaries to distribute it.
