.Los Angeles Dispensary Ban Math: There Are Not 1,000 Dispensaries in L.A.

Round numbers. They’re bullshit. The truth is never round like 1,000. It’s spiky — like the number 472.

Four hundred and seventy-two is arguably the best guess we have at the number of storefront medical marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles. It comes from a recent UCLA study, as opposed to thin air, which is where L.A.’s elected leaders, paid staff of Los Angeles and major media are happily pulling from.

According to the UCLA release: “To determine the actual number of dispensaries in operation, the researchers compiled lists using multiple electronic and hard-copy sources, including the city’s finance list. These lists referenced 875 unique locations, including 762 dispensaries registered with the city. When the researchers went to these locations, they found that only 472 were actually operating as dispensaries.
