LOS ANGELES—As a measure to protect cannabis consumers from untested and unregulated products at unlicensed businesses, two Los Angeles City Councilors introduced a motion on May 4 aimed at implementing a county program that issues emblem placards to licensed cannabis businesses.
Under the County of Los Angeles’s Emblem Program for Authorized Cannabis Stores, storefront and delivery cannabis businesses are able to apply for an emblem, obtain the requisite inspection and place the emblem on their premises in an area visible to someone outside the store.
“Unfortunately, unlicensed commercial cannabis activity continues to undermine the legal commercial cannabis industry and threaten the health and safety of Los Angeles residents,” said Councilman Paul Koretz, who co-introduced the motion.
