When the town council announced plans to start construction on a cannabis dispensary in the downtown historic district, there was quite an uproar, but people got mad that this kind of company would be built among all the classic and historical buildings in that part of town.
The truth was that the property had been bulldozed, and was a pile of rubble, so any kind of current company would be an improvement.
I think the main concern was an issue with cannabis itself, and some older people still hadn’t embraced the current laws. This is stunning to me, because the math is pretty clear about the benefits of using cannabis. A lot of people don’t even want to get high, they have no interest in the psychoactive properties of cannabis, they just want to use it medicinally! I am not one of those people, of course, I love smoking cannabis and not because of the medicinal properties! The point is that a plant cannot be immoral and should never be illegal, not even the cannabis plant. Backwards thinking and stupidity has held back the progress of cannabis long enough, and all of us are finally entering a golden era. There are more cannabis dispensaries than ever before, selling a wider variety of products, and all of us can’t let the old-school mentality hold us back. I am happy about this current cannabis dispensary, and the more people argue against it the more I want to support it! I will be there on the afternoon the cannabis dispensary opens, and I hope it makes a lot of old people mad.
