SHOW SOME COMPASSION FOR THOSE WHO NEED WEED

Editor:

I just read about the closure of the Compassion Club in the 
Chilliwack Times and the comments made by the mayor.

In a city with such a significant property crime rate, I would have 
thought that she would welcome a business such as this.

I think we all know that people who require medical marijuana and the 
club owners are not the ones responsible for property crime. The 
unfortunate thing is that, without access to prescribed medication 
through compassion clubs, patients are forced to seek it from the 
same criminals who sell the drugs that supplies the addicts 
responsible for the property crime, further feeding the criminal element.

Hopefully the community will soon realize this and allow them to reopen.
