DONE WITH BRECK
We just returned from our annual vacation in Breckenridge, which will
be our last. How shocking and disappointing to find out that
Breckenridge now has a large number of medical marijuana dispensaries
operating in the town! Dinner companions told us that young people
joke about how quick and simple it is to get medical prescriptions
(headache, back pain, hang nails) for the drug. We noted many ads in
your paper for these dispensaries. We also read that Vail and a number
of other vacation resorts have refused to allow such facilities. Can
we interpret from this that Breckenridge no longer wishes to be known
as the premier Colorado family vacation destination? It appears that
you are morphing Breck into a 20-something party town. Shame on your
city council! We will find a new vacation spot next year.
