By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

Yesterday Los Angeles city prosecutors sent letters to 439 medical marijuana dispensaries, demanding they be shut down by June 7, when the city's ordinance to regulate the stores takes effect. Under that ordinance, only dispensaries that registered with the city after the council adopted the moratorium in 2007 will be allowed to operate.
