Voters legalized medical marijuana in 1996, but without local regulation, pot clubs grew like weeds -- especially in major cities like Los Angeles. This week, L.A.'s City Council approved a measure that would shut down most of the hundreds of pot shops in the city and place tough restrictions on those left. Many politicians voting on the issue grew up during an era when pot smoking was common, although some deny taking part, as we found out when we surveyed members of the L.A. City Council.
