Re: "'Why not Orillia?'" Aug. 16

I am appalled with the front page and, in such big letters, 'Why not Orillia?'

A medical marijuana vapourization lounge opening in downtown Orillia. The Vape Lounge. An "over-exaggerated living room." People can rent bongs, vapourizers and other devices for using marijuana.

Please, have you ever heard of people with diabetes taking their insulin or cancer patients taking chemo in an exaggerated living room?

Mr. McInnes, if you have money to open such a facility, please use your money for a better cause. Many homeless men in Orillia need a shelter. Are you aware how many people go to the food bank every day? The Lighthouse - are you aware how many they feed daily?
