Comments

Lowenthal said the measure is crafted to make neighborhoods safe and alleviate police efforts on illegal marijuana sales and that medical-marijuana businesses are the ones who pay for increases in safety and places of business.
"It's important to realize where Measure MM fits in," Lowenthal said. "Prop 64 on the ballot would authorize recreational adult use of medical marijuana, but only Measure MM- only Measure MM- ensures that the medical-marijuana business here in Long Beach will pay their fair share to keep our community safe."
