David Garrick from the Union Tribune in San Diego wrote an article about the difficulties faced with shutting down the over 100 illegal marijuana shops in San Diego in New Tactic in Pot Shop Fight.
Garrick sites the resigned Mayer Bob Filner as adding to the over abundance of illegal pot shops when he relaxed zoning laws in 2003. Councilman Ed Harris is demanding a review and action plan on shutting the dispensaries down. With the illegal dispensaries running, it makes the ones that are taking the steps to be legal have a bigger battle. Legal dispensaries will collect tax on product, adhere to zoning laws and other restrictions and be closely monitored to ensure safety and quality of medicine. The illegal dispensaries not adhering to any law can cut costs to the consumer, allowing them to not pay tax.
