Los Angeles County has issued its first cannabis business license to a dispensary in Malibu.

Interestingly enough, ma*****na businesses are banned in Los Angeles County, however because of a unique nuance to Malibu's governance, the city itself does not issue business licenses. As a further twist to the unique circumstances behind this milestone, Malibu had passed an ordinance which allows for two retail cannabis businesses to operate within the city.

The result is that a city that cannot issue business licenses has instead made a county which is against the newly legalized industry to issue its first license.

Although commercial cannabis is banned in Los Angeles County, incorporated cities may establish independent rules and regulations for ma*****na businesses.

The anxiety in Los Angeles is high as cannabis businesses attempt to get licenses under the new 2018 rules and regulations for California's ma*****na program.
