Steve Cooley, District Attorney for Los Angeles County said Thursday, all medical marijuana over-the-counter sales dispensaries will be prosecuted, 
targeting a practice which the initiative approved by California voters over a decade ago, has allowed to become common place.
Saying the vast majority of dispensaries in Los Angeles County, about a 100% of which are operating and dealing marijuana illegally in the city, need to be dealt with.
Cooley and Carmen Trutanich, Los Angeles City Attorney, only recently concluded the barring of medical marijuana sales by the state law, an opinion that could lead to renewed efforts by law enforcement statewide to rein in use of marijuana, coming at a time when polls show marijuana legalization has the support of a majority of state voters, and who are working to place the issue on the ballot next year.
Following police raids, a dozen of such dispensaries are being investigated by the district attorney’s office, and is considering filing felony charges against one straddling the Los Angeles- Culver City line.
