More than 200 medical marijuana collectives have applied to be in a drawing, to select 100 legal dispensaries in L-A.
The lottery is the city's latest attempt to lower the number of dispensaries.
But it's not clear just when the lottery will be held.
The city clerk's office must first review the forms to determine whether the applicants qualify.
City officials say they believe fewer than 135 collectives can meet the medical marijuana requirements.
