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

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
