In the reading for this week the topic is on, Should medical marijuana businesses be banned permanently in Redwood City?" This article is stating that the city wants to ban the Medical marijuana businesses because they believe that it is not good for there community. However no other city in the bay area is doing so, and this may cause riots in the city and crime rate might increase. To pass this law for the city the planning commission is meeting with the city-staff to discuss the outcome. However before a final decision is made the public will get a say on the situation. By doing this ban the city will lose income because they make a of profit off of these stores and it is not actually hurting anyone, it is for medical patients that need it for certain reasons.
In my opinion i believe that Redwood City should not ban the medical marijuana stores because it has shown that it has done no harm to the city, it is proven that alcohol has caused a lot more issues that marijuana, so what are they going to do next ban alcohol? Also in this day and age the country is not doing so well with money and with the ability to find jobs. Not only will this give more people jobs for the stores but it will bring in money for the city, it can help them rebuild buildings, re do roads, etc. Also the people that have the medical marijuana cards can get their medicine for there problem and it will not cause more crime rates and riots by the people against it.
