marijuana dispensary?
THIS WEEK’S WEB POLL:
Should Gilroy support or try to prevent the opening of a medical marijuana dispensary?
Support: 7 Prevent: 5
â– Support. I have never used drugs in my life. I figure if people with serious illness such as advanced cancer get relief from marijuana, why not as long as it regulated as a prescription for those illnesses.
â– If it is legal and regulated it should be able to operate.
â– I know of a few Gilroyans who go all the way to Oakland to get their stuff. What would it hurt to have a store close to the people in need? We could hook up South County and make some money! Get one Gilroy!
â– Support. When will government learn that prohibitions do not work. They create illegal underground markets and foster crime. Look at what the U.S. demand for marijuana has created in Mexico. If politicians cannot learn from history, perhaps the enticement for an endless tax revenue stream can influence their rock-solid principles!
■Prevent – it will be more trouble for Gilroy. Let them open one in Salinas.
■PREVENT. Geez – it just gets better and better. Maybe we could have a strip and pot club combo.
