The city of Los Angeles has received 229 applications for its medical marijuana dispensary lottery.
The deadline to submit the eight-page applications was Feb. 18. The city will select 100 dispensaries to receive licenses. It's not clear yet when that lottery will be held.
The lottery marks an attempt by the city to find a way to separate legal dispensaries from illegal ones and reduce the number of dispensaries in the city limits.
The city previously tried to control pot dispensaries via an ordinance that was declared unconstitutional by a judge.
Some dispensary operators are not happy about the lottery, however. They have threatened to sue to challenge the selection process.
Before the lottery is held, the city clerk's office will review the applications to determine if the dispensaries are eligible to participate in the drawing.
The collectives have to be able to provide at least three documents showing they have been businesses since Sept. 14, 2007, among other requirements.
City officials say they think that, of the 229 applicants, fewer than 135 will actually meet the requirements.
