I wouldn't say "everywhere" but considering the facts that marijuana is legal at the state level and it produces a large amount of revenue in taxes, why wouldn't you want to have that economic opportunity in Redmond? You want everyone to go buy their weed in Bend and they enjoy all the profits?

Im allergic to marihuana, CBD, hemp. But I have nothing against it. Who cares? To me they are no different than a liquor store.

It should be legal simply for the whole reason it’s been shown to help with mental issues such as PTSD, reducing physical pain, helps with those undergoing chemotherapy and the like. Recreationally, it’s a hell of a better than using tobacco products or alcohol and while it impairs, it’s not as bad.

It is ridiculous that Redmond passes on the revenue from having a dispensary here. It's not like the people of Redmond aren't going to use Marijuana just because it isn't sold here.

If they are located in communities where people smoke then the county would be able to benefit from taxing it and help support the community. Keeping the dispensary away will not keep the weed away from the town that refuses one

I don't want them anywhere, the only winners are the sellers. It's an under taxed industry. Probably as much sold on the black market as in the store front.

It is just like inviting more drunk divers on the road. Anyone that doesn't think it impairs your ability to do things are lying.

Absolutely NOT! I do not think it should have ever been legalized! The horrible policies the Demarcates put in place are destroying this country! We will not comply with their horrible socialist agenda! Lets get together and vote the Demarcates out of Oregon!!!

There is literally no proof that marijuana os bad for you unless you’re driving while impaired with it. Otherwise it’s literally been proven to help with a whole slew of health issues such as PTSD, cancer, physical pain and other issues as well

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?

People should not have to put up with annoying intrusive lights that inconsiderate neighbors install
