MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARY NEEDED HERE

What makes people so upset about medical marijuana? Just as a
dispensary was started in Alpena for the sick and disabled Mr. Ed
Black prosecutor and company decided to shut it down cause he claims
it causes a public nuisance. What nuisance problems has this place
had? Because somebody didn't like it??

The owners followed state law providing patients a safe clean
environment to get their medicine. Now instead of bringing people into
the city to get their medication they will go to other towns to get it
or buy directly off drug dealers on the street

Why does Alpena feel they have the right to prevent people from
obtaining their medicine? Why does other towns like Mt Pleasant,
Traverse City even little Pinconning have dispensaries. In Traverse
city they have two.

Now folks will have to go to the street and have to put up with being
either ripped off or getting marijuana that is not safe for them. A
few years back in Great Britain small pieces of lead were put into
bags of marijuana to make it weigh heavy. Dealers on the street will
do anything to make money some people nearly died

I guess Mr. Black doesn't realize that the money that people spend
could have went right back into the city of Alpena when folks show up
they would also buy gas, shop and eat but instead we put the money
right back in the hands of the dangerous Mexican drug cartels makes no
sense.

Medical marijuana can't be bought at the local Rite-Aid so with over
65 thousand patients in the state why not have a safe clean
environment so they can get what they need?

Stop harassing the sick and disabled.
