The provisions of this chapter shall not be construed to protect dispensary owners,
operators, and employees, or their clients from prosecution pursuant to any laws that
may prohibit the cultivation, sale, use, or possession of controlled substances. Moreover,
cultivation, sale, possession, distribution, and use of marijuana remain violations
of federal law as of the date of the ordinance creating this chapter and this chapter
is not intended to, nor does it, protect any of the above described persons from arrest
or prosecution under those federal laws. Owners, operators and licensees must assume
any and all risk and any and all liability that may arise or result under state and
federal criminal laws from operation of a medical marijuana dispensary. Further, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, any actions taken under the provisions of this
section by any public officer or employee of the County of Los Angeles or the County
of Los Angeles itself, shall not become a personal liability of such person or liability
of the county.
