BALDWIN PARK: Medicinal marijuana to be debated

The Baldwin Park City Council will consider Wednesday extending an interim moratorium on medicinal marijuana dispensaries in the city.

The council voted unanimously last month to enact a 45-day temporary ban prohibiting the establishment of medicinal marijuana clinics anywhere in the city.

It expires on Saturday.

The new ordinance would extend that ban for 10 more months.

California voters approved Proposition 215 - the Compassionate Use Act - in 1996, allowing for the possession and cultivation of marijuana for medicinal use with a doctor's approval.

It is still barred by federal law.
