Are there even any dispensaries in her district?
I used to stop in at that neighboring liquor store for a jolly rancher every afternoon on my way home from Marshall Jr. High.
I don't object to the collectives, but I do object to the lack of regulation (business license, inspection,) the attractive nuisance liabilities. Why should it be more difficult to open a check cashing storefront, restaurant, even host a neighborhood event, than open a storefront that sells drugs, ie medication.
What we need to do is make pot LEGAL and TAX it and forget about all of this "medical" malarky.
"HOUSTON --- The American Medical Association (AMA) voted today to reverse its long-held position that marijuana be retained as a Schedule I substance with no medical value. The AMA adopted a report drafted by the AMA Council on Science and Public Health (CSAPH) entitled, "Use of Cannabis for Medicinal Purposes," which affirmed the therapeutic benefits of marijuana and called for further research. The CSAPH report concluded that, "short term controlled trials indicate that smoked cannabis reduces neuropathic pain, improves appetite and caloric intake especially in patients with reduced muscle mass, and may relieve spasticity and pain in patients with multiple sclerosis." Furthermore, the report urges that "the Schedule I status of marijuana be reviewed with the goal of facilitating clinical research and development of cannabinoid-based medicines, and alternate delivery methods."

I have news for you, I just saw Schipske speak, she has no power to do what you want. She is trying to play the "not in my district" card for the old ladies club but it's not going to work. They are working of a plan to share the responsibility to provide access in all districts evenly across the city. She realizes patients have right too. She WILL allow pot to be sold in your area and there is nothing you can do about it.
Using Councilman DeLong’s logic (not sure that is possible), there currently are 54 alcohol licenses in Belmont Shore. Why does he keep approving more? We certainly have more alcohol licenses than necessary to support the local community.
