"We take opiates and dispense them every day in a doctor's prescription. Here's a drug that has literally never killed anybody and yet we won't allow doctors to do research."

If the council approves the second reading of the ordinance at its Jan. 10 meeting, Whittier will be one of 21 cities in California that have laws allowing such establishments. Fourteen cities in California have banned them. The three councilmen who supported the ordinance in the vote early Wednesday morning said they wanted to ensure the city could regulate it. Rating: 5
