JUST SAY NO TO POT DISPENSARIES

Thank you City Council for rejecting the addition of medicinal
marijuana dispensaries to town. All one has to do to see how these
prescriptions are being abused is take a stroll down the Venice
boardwalk and try to avoid the barkers outside the numerous pot shops
hawking "free consultations." And from what I've seen on the
literature they shove into your hands, prescriptions can be had for
such simple maladies as headaches and sleeplessness.

The city was right in not making the same mistake that the state of
California did in allowing these places to exist.
