While an improvement it still doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I can walk into any convenience store in the zone and buy alcohol. When I lived in SF there was a large dispensary right on Market Street (for the pearl-clutchers about Michigan or State St) and I walked past it several times a day...there were no problems. |
There is still a weirdly significant number of people who think these
legal dispensaries will bring criminal elements, and the sort of people who will be buying
legal marijuana are going to be, I dunno, dope heads harassing people on the street or something.
My dad is on a planning commission in the suburbs and they are currently deliberating if/where to allow dispensaries in town. He said the couple of meetings they've had so far have been PACKED and mostly with people who have bizarre, outdated concerns about weed. Granted, that's the suburbs so you'd expect a few more pearl clutchers, but still.
