I can't get to Bend and have to depend on others to help me get there. The bus is a minimum 4 hrs trip. Dispensaries would be a welcomed place here in town.

Matt Stickler

We need a few dispensaries, but we do not need an overwelming number of them. One at the north, middle, and south end of Redmond would be sufficient.

It's very tedious going to from bend for sometimes 1 item, I understand not everyone partakes but it isn't always about them, and I believe this business venture will increase the economy by attracting more tourists, adds multiple jobs for the people, taxed profits back to the city, win win

Gabe West

It should be for medically only

LESLIE Wayt

It's legal now, get over your issues, and allow it to be for sale all over Oregon now.

It's illegal in the United States of America, and the last time I checked, we are still part of the USA!

Gabe West

It only should be used medically

Caleb Chess

It's legal in Oregon and it looks like it will soon be in every state. Get over yourself.

As a high schooler in Sisters I have seen what drugs can do to teens and young adults. What this will do is just bring more drugs into the Redmond schools. Please don't ruin more kids lives!

Rick Allen

Illegal is illegal why cant the left follow logic or law. Just more problems and drugged drivers and thats good how?????

Kimmy Wasatch

We do not need or want any more places to buy drugs in Central Oregon. I know some need it for medical purposes but there is always a way to get to Bend. Sometimes more stores will attract people who do not work and live here but just want drugs.

Jon Krutsch

Better to keep all the tax money in Bend. Overall sales won't increase, so it will just be splitting the tax bucket more ways.

Gabe West

Medical only

Gabe West

Be nice

Thin Blue Line Guardian

The only drug that I can see being used for medical purposes is marijuana. And in my opinion only for people trying to get rid of the pain when they are dying.

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.

Duane Wyman

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"...?
