Attn: Los Angeles patients

I'm a college student currently studying journalism in Los Angeles. Recently (as I'm sure you know), there have been changes in the way medical marijuana is being regulated in Los Angeles. Legislators are looking to impose tighter restrictions on the way medical marijuana is distributed, saying that it cannot legally be sold over-the-counter as most dispensaries have been distributing it in the past.

I am writing a reaction article to the recent activity going on in medical marijuana legislation in Los Angeles. I am looking for the reaction and opinions of medical marijuana patients in LA who are willing to answer some questions for my article:


For what reason are you using medical marijuana?

How would ending the over-the-counter sales of medical marijuana affect you?

What do you think of the proposed changes?

How do you think medical marijuana should be regulated in Los Angeles?

And any other information you would like to share with me that you think would be useful.

Please include your real full name so I can quote you in the article. If you would like to participate in the interview, but do not feel comfortable leaving your name in this forum, please let me know and I will give you my personal e-mail.


Here are some articles that may be helpful in framing your answers to the questions:

I would really love to hear back from as many patients as possible! This is an important issue and I hope to cover it from all sides of the debate. If you have any questions about the project, please don't hesitate to ask!
Thanks so much!
