Mike Song of The Green Doctor who violently beat employee of The Kush Dr. We have *many* photos and videos of Mr. Song hawking and soliciting for The Green Dr. Since being booked for felony battery, The Green Dr. has been trying to deny that Mr. Song, shown here holding a hawking sign, is an employee or is associated with The Green Dr.
A public hearing by the City Planning Department is happening right now on the subject of closing all medical marijuana clinics in the City of Los Angeles - which would include the Venice area and Boardwalk. This heavily litigated issue is based around the increase in criminal activity surrounding these clinics and their respective operations. We became aware of this hearing today while testifying in court as a witness where one medical marijuana clinic employee beat the living daylights out of a rival clinic employee a few doors down on the Venice Boardwalk. Although the clinics are not supposed to hawk on the Boardwalk, LAPD has all but stopped enforcing this issue… and as shown below the hawkers are straying very far from their storefronts, continuing to show disregard and abuse of the conditions and limitations of their current operations. We are hoping to have some word about the proceedings shortly.

Shouldn’t the law target the mmj clinics and doctors that don’t except Photo IDs and let minors purchase medical marijuana?
Calling and complain to the cops about someone holding a sign is pointless.
Would it not make more sense to see what businesses are following the laws when it comes to IDs being used, if real doctors are being used, or proper business licenses being used.
What really should be looked into is who is paying Proper taxes, and also how employees are bein paid. Which most guys or gals who hold the signs are paid under the table cash money.
Legal tax paying businesses should stay open.
The clinics there just to make that money and don’t report it need to get UNPLUGGED
John - maybe you need to stop smoking so much so you can make a coherent comment.
Maybe we as residents need to start calling this in to lapd. I told the last guy that approached me on the boardwalk to get back in his doorway. Yes, it probably lasted for less than 30 seconds until I was past the shop, but if enough people complained? If we make it hard enough for them to make a living they could be forced out. Ultimately if marijuana is made legal to buy, it needs to be in a way that its not so in your face and so easy to get a prescription.
I agree..I will call for sure..
do the cops actually do anything
