The strong public support for medical marijuana makes the hard-line attitudes of the Westlake Village City Council against medical-marijuana dispensaries difficult to understand. It appears that the council is allowing minority anti-marijuana voices in the community to overrule the will of the public. Anyone who upholds this lunacy does not deserve to hold public office.
