LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Los Angeles City Council wants the federal Drug Enforcement Administration's help in the crackdown on medical marijuana dispensaries.
The council voted unanimously last month to ban virtually all dispensaries. In another vote on Wednesday, the council decided to ask the Los Angeles Police Department to work with DEA officials to create a strategy to enforce the ban.

T'was ever thus, but it's time for a change. Real change, not the bullshit change that we wound up with.
