You might be surprised at how easy it is to set up a pot club in San Francisco. Within blocks of my house there are currently two Cannanbis Clubs where folks can legally sell and purchase pot. And there is a third club seeking to get in on the action. Now, I'm not even going to talk in this entry about the issus of using marajuana in cases to ease suffering for certain medical conditions. The argument for legalization of pot is mostly centered on that issue. Okay, I'll give you that. But, three pot clubs in on the same street! C'mon. What are doing, creating a hub? I mean is the goal to create a price war? I met with a group of neighbors and residents yesterday who are concerned. Within the last few months one of the clubs on our street was robbed at gunpoint and shots were fired in broad daylight. The is down the street where my wife takes the children to the library, shopping for our groceries, etc. There are schools in the vicinity. And people are smoking pot in the open. This is nuts. People have to take a stand somewhere. This is not good for the well-being of our neighborhood. It's destructive and its bringing in people who aren't seeking the best of our children and community - to say the least. This is the kind of thing people have to stand up and speak to. This is something that you go at from multiple angles. I've started by quietly seeking God on this. I am praying for what's best to be done and for the health of the community. I am talking with others about it. I'm writing my district supervisor, Sandoval to invite him into the battle. And I'm encouraging others to do the same. You've got to start somewhere. If you've got some input I'm interested.
It is definitely an issue of debate in the city, among residents, politicians, business people, terminally ill people... Check out this article from the Examiner for more:
