Los Angeles law enforcement has closed hundreds of shops illegally selling medical marijuana in under two years, according to City Attorney Mike Feuer.

Feuer announced Thursday that that the city has closed 503 shops since July 2013, nearly half of them in the Los Angeles Police Department's Valley Bureau.

"Many were close to schools, child care centers and other sensitive sites. Others were disrupting the quality of life in our neighborhoods," Feuer said in a press release.

In 2013, LA voters allowed medical marijuana to be sold at a set number of shops. But many shops that weren't approved under the law have sprung up anyway, along with a farmer's market that Feuer's office cracked down on as well.

Feuer said "several hundred" medical marijuana shops remain open around the city and urged the public to report any illegal medical marijuana shops to atty.medicalmarijuana@lacity.org.

EDITOR’S NOTE: They should shut down all the pot shops. Medical marijuana is a hoax. Where are the feds? Medical pot is a violation of federal law. Jim Beam and Jack Daniel’s work just as well, and they’re legal. So does Four Roses, and it’s cheaper.
