WEED VS. WEEDS

We already have a 400-foot restriction between K-through-12 schools
and dispensaries. Why do we need to add to that ("The war against
weed," Between the Lines, Nov. 25)?

I, along with a lot of other people, believe that we should stop
trying to take from what is helping boost our economy. College
students are adults with the ability to make their own decisions. And
as for preschools, if our concern is to keep them from the
dispensaries or the lifestyles associated with them, then we need to
make sure the preschools keep better track of the children in their
centers.

The dispensaries here in Colorado Springs are bringing in hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Now can you tell me what is so wrong with that?
Why can't we just leave things the way they have been? Is the city
that unwilling to accept that MMJ will help bring our city back to the
beautiful place it once was? A place where all of our parks were
maintained and our street lights come on at night to keep our
neighborhoods safe for our children?

Please leave the medical marijuana laws the way they are and allow
them to help improve the city of Colorado Springs.
