MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES

Editor:

Hey, why doesn't Red Bluff allow medical marijuana
dispensaries?

Surely this town could profit from the income? These streets that need
repair, people needs jobs, the town could use the money earned from
it, yet all your money is going up to Redding since they are allowing
this legitimate business to continue as it should.

Make no mistake, citizens of Red Bluff are going to Redding to
purchase medical marijuana. They are reaping the benefits that should
be yours.

On top of that you are keeping the illegal street dealers in business
and on the streets, bad business for any town, especially where things
can and should be allowed that are legal.

And you put dummies in police cars probably because you can't afford a
real one. Yet you won't allow yourself the chance to profit from it
all.

Wake up Red Bluff. You're cutting off your nose to spite your own old
face. Start allowing medical marijuana dispensaries here before things
dry up here.
