Your voice: Should Richmond city council allow cannabis stores?

Jim Clarkson Jim Clarkson Mover I’m not sure. Will opening more stores create more use among people that really don’t want to use it, because they now feel comfortable using it and want to experiment? That’s my question.

Yes. Someone who is using it is going to use it anyway. Why wouldn’t you collect money from the stores? Why give it to those who sell it anyway. Those stores are going to be taxed. The money can go to kids and people in need.

I really don’t prefer it. They can go somewhere else to get it, go further away, so they aren’t convenient. They might use it less because of the travelling if they have to go so far to get it.

I think it should be allowed because there are medical marijuana stores already. It will be easier for everyone who lives in Richmond, who needs medical cannabis, to get it, rather than having to go all the way to Vancouver.

I think it’s a good idea, but it should be regulated in such a way that people who don’t like marijuana aren’t affected. Stores should be located in a somewhat private location. It should be handled with prudence, because it’s the beginning of the future, but the future is also unknown.
