These things always bring violence, guns, arson, etc. Look what happened in Rochester.
I would guess the effect on “the children” will be exactly what it is if marijuana remained illegal and there was no ‘marijuana farm’.
The kids who want marijuana get it, those who do not want it don’t bother.
So why is it different then a liquor store or a bar on every corner, thats the drug war we should be fighting. Children of alcoholics have a pretty hard time of it and that is a hard fact. Talk to any bartender.
Where were the cries to “think about the children” when Vader ran a 100 year old elementary school into the ground, demolished it, and students were forced to travel to either Castle Rock or Winlock for school?
People got to face the facts Vader is a retirement town not many kids in that town not many factory’s either…they should welcome it with open arms …remember….pot is legal now
I cannot believe this. This opportunity goes into a lottery and he will probably not get the license for it anyway. What happened to the business that he was supposed to open several years ago?
