 The Los Angeles City Council is plainly out of its depth when it comes to regulating medical marijuana.  This was already clear after years of fumbling and court-delayed  attempts to limit the number or locations of cannabis dispensaries, but  it became painfully obvious when the council approved a ban on  all dispensaries — along with a separate motion to draft an ordinance  that would allow well-established pot shops to stay open, partially  defeating the council's own purpose.
