There are 10 cannabis businesses operating in West Hollywood, and as far as complaints go, nine have squeaky-clean records.
All of the mere six complaints lodged since July 1 of last year have been directed at The Woods, according to a report City Hall prepared for the Business License Commission.
Five of the six complaints were regarding loud music. Only one, a report on Jan. 14, of patrons using the parking lot next door to “smoke weed in an around their cars,” resulted in a temporary closure.

*West Hollywood dispensaries URBN Leaf and LAPCG were not mentioned in the city’s report to the commission for reasons unknown.
Place is starting to look really gross with all the dispensaries. I would sell and get out if I were a homeowner here. I see the gays moving to a nicer place. Wait till all the homeless shelters pop up. Of course, the City Council will have moved to new locations by the time it goes to complete dirt.
For the record, the article states that one of the complaints caused a temporary closure. This is blatantly incorrect. What the staff report said was code enforcement came out to check on the complaint and the business was closed. That means it was end of day, and there was no business being transacted. It does not mean the business was shut down by the city. Please read the staff report and correct your article. This is bad journalism.
You left out half the story… at the City hearing last week, WeHo reps said each complaint was investigated and found to be false. The complaint about the parking lot was completely bogus, as the lot does not belong to the Woods and has nothing to do with them. Furthermore, there was no proof the smokers were patrons of the Woods. Why smoke in a parking lot when they could be in a gorgeous garden?
The complaint was not in fact bogus. I’ve personally walked by and heard their music blaring out into the street and seen patrons from The Woods buy weed and then go to their cars next door in the Akuma parking lot and smoke it. While the lot may not belong to The Woods, it has everything to do with them if their customers are not abiding by the law. Once the City receives a complaint, they go investigate it hours (or days) later so of course they didn’t find those same people smoking weed in the parking lot – doesn’t… Read more »
LOL yes that “Lets celebrate Diversity!” theory isn’t quite the orgy you think it is, now is it??
Wait, who do we complain to? I can make about 3 legit complaints a day about Calma without even trying.
Why did you leave out lapcg at 7265 Santa monica blvd.?
