SHOW SOME COMPASSION FOR THOSE WHO NEED WEED

Editor:

I just read about the closure of the Compassion Club in the
Chilliwack Times and the comments made by the mayor.

In a city with such a significant property crime rate, I would have
thought that she would welcome a business such as this.

I think we all know that people who require medical marijuana and the
club owners are not the ones responsible for property crime. The
unfortunate thing is that, without access to prescribed medication
through compassion clubs, patients are forced to seek it from the
same criminals who sell the drugs that supplies the addicts
responsible for the property crime, further feeding the criminal element.

Hopefully the community will soon realize this and allow them to reopen.
