"It doesn't bother me at all as long as it's legal. As long as they
get their permits and everything I don't see anything wrong with it.
As long as it's not a magnet for crime."

Well, I think marijuana is a bad idea personally, because I've seen
people throughout California, especially on the coast, where marijuana
has ruined their lives. It's like any drug or alcohol, there's gonna
be people who abuse it, and they're the ones that society has to deal
with.

Bud Dilbeck

Retired, Durham

I don't think it's a good idea for Chico. I think it goes along with
dumbing down society so that the government has more control over our
lives. It's not going to be good for Chico's well-being. We're not
going to be able to attract businesses with that kind of culture. We
just don't need one more thing.

Duke Ross

I have no problem with it because I'm hoping that the bill will pass
in November and everyone could grow it. My main reason is that it's a
lot less dangerous than alcohol. We're spending too many resources
trying to stop people from doing something they're just going to do
anyways.

It's fine with me. When are they going to legalize it? They should
just legalize it for medicinal use. They should just grow it, tax it
and get a new revenue for this state.

I think it's absurd. We have many many more important things to spend
our money on. We need to straighten our the city of Chico's budget so
we're not spending more than we make.
