Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer announced on Thursday that his office helped with the closing down of over 500 marijuana shops since the approval of Proposition D. “Many were close to schools, child care centers and other sensitive sites. Others were disrupting the quality of life in our neighborhoods,” he said.

In May 2013 when Prop D was passed, Los Angeles voters supported the operation of only a limited number of shops that sell medical marijuana. However, illegal shops have been erected anyway, which resulted to the crackdown by city officials. Since then, there has been a decline of marijuana shops in the city.

Out of the estimated 700 marijuana shops, only around 140 of them were expected to comply with the new standards, which require medical marijuana shops to be registered and erected far from schools or child care centers.
