A new study by the RAND Corporation takes a look at the effect of the recent closure of numerous Los Angeles medical marijuana dispensaries. Opponents of dispensaries, most notably law enforcement, have long argued that marijuana dispensaries increase crime in their neighborhoods. However, the data revealed by RAND today shows the opposite:
(Los Angeles Times) In a study of crime near Los Angeles dispensaries — which the investigators call the most rigorous independent examination of its kind — the Santa Monica-based think tank found that crime actually increased near hundreds of pot shops after they were required to close last summer.

For the prospect of a large marijuana bust, an entire town’s law enforcement detained, delayed, frightened, harassed, embarrassed, searched, and accused three young men, two of whom are medical users for severe conditions, one of whom is legally protected for that medical use, based on the “probable cause” of a skunky smell and the mention of “California”. And if those three hadn’t been some of the best-educated young people on the issues of civil rights with an all-star criminal defense attorney on speed dial, they could have been sitting in a cell right now.

Legalization is no longer the forbidden topic (even if we’re playing it close to the vest and calling it “sensible regulation”) and this short week we are taking a closer look at the topic with the proponents of marijuana legalization in four Western states. We’re calling it “Legalization Week” – it’s like “Shark Week”, but much mellower.
