NOT HAZARDOUS

The city using the excuse that head shops are causing safety concerns
in neighbourhoods to justify their harassment of the owners of head
shops is a load of bull if I ever heard one. Head shops are no more of
a threat to families, children, etc. than bars, liquor stores, or even
the convenience store, or any other business that provides an adult
product or service, which are readily available in almost every
neighbourhood in the city.

This is nothing short of harassment and an attack on small business
owners and their livelihood. As a homeowner and taxpayer (who lives
quite close to a head shop) I demand that the persons involved cease
and desist this unprofessional behaviour and monumental waste of
taxpayer funded resources which could be used for better things than
harassing small businesses who contribute to the economy.

(Except those other business have no hint of connection to illegal
drugs.)
