Pisces5 Reasons I Don't Want a Pot Dispensary in My 'Hood
Momlogic's Momstrosity: What are you likely to see on the streets if you visit Los Angeles?
Celebrities? Yeah ... maybe. But there's a better chance that you'll see about a zillion
marijuana dispensaries.
Today, about 400 unauthorized pot dispensaries were shut down -- and I swear
most of them were in my neighborhood. Unfortunately, there's a chance that many might be able to open again. Don't get me wrong: Back in the day, I enjoyed myself a nice spliff now and then -- but that doesn't mean I want my
street to be known as "Cannabis Lane." Here's why.
1) It's too sad watching all of those 20-somethings in so much pain. It's SO weird: The only people I see waiting to get their scripts filled are young, vibrant men and women -- sometimes arriving by skateboard and plugged into their iPods. Not little old ladies with glaucoma, or cancer patients. I had no idea that being a hipster was so painful.
2) I don't want to have to deal with a stoned preschooler. When walking with my 4-year-old, I don't want her to get baked from the secondhand pot smoke that barrels out every time the door of the dispensary swings open. Ever seen a preschooler high? I haven't, either -- but I bet it would involve her tripping out on her Polly Pockets and eating twice her weight in graham crackers.
3) If I wanted to live in Amsterdam, I'd move there. When I was going over my list of must-haves before we bought our house, it didn't include eat-in kitchen, walk-in closets, good schools and a proximity to killer bud.
4) I like to window-shop without security guards. Dispensaries usually appear in locations with a fair amount of foot traffic. To protect their cash crop, owners of pot stores have to employ troops of rent-a-cops -- and these dudes usually look more menacing than the thieves they're attempting to deter. Nothing like picking up a quart of milk in a quasi-police state!
5) Because one day I'd like to hear this commercial tagline: "Pot, available EVERYWHERE!!" Rather than having clusters of pot palaces masquerading as pharmacies (for the convenience of people who REALLY DO NEED medical marijuana), howsabout we just legalize the stuff?

Sorry to hear that.
What a great blog. I spend days on the internet reading blogs, about tons of different subjects. I have to first of all give kudos to whoever created your website and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an amazing post. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only a few posses and frankly you have it. The combination of informative and quality content is definitely extremely rare with the large amount of blogs on the internet.
I just found this blog a while back when a friend suggested it to me. I have been a regular reader ever since.
Could you message me with a few pointers on how you made this website look this good , I would be thankful!

Car crash statistics are lame. We could so easily have an automated roadway that would be infinitely safer than current state of our roadways, but I’m of the opinion that the oil industry has thwarted these efforts because the average consumer revels in affluence. the words power and freedom.
Vehicles are lethal. Period, in the right hands, in the wrong hands… if every day you got up and fired a gun out of your window, you would eventually score a kill. Now strip all the parameters… mechanized the gun, extend the barrel to the target, automate sensors for life that may or may not be in the lethal target area, Hell, even find an alternate propellant to smokeless powder. Then you’ve got the safest gun in the whole world!
So, in summation, we’ve proved that my world has guns that are totally safe, we’ve got cars that fly themselves, and cannabis is most definitely legal!
Bookmarked your website. Thank you for sharing. Definitely worth the time away from my workload.
This web page can be a walk-via for the entire information you wished about this and didn?t know who to ask. Glimpse here, and also you?ll undoubtedly uncover it.
Oh man. This website is awesome! How did you make it look like this .
Just to let you know your site looks really weird in Firefox on my laptop with Linux .
Keep working ,remarkable job!
I have got one idea for your web page. It seems like right now there are a couple of cascading stylesheet problems while opening a selection of web pages within google chrome and firefox. It is working alright in internet explorer. Perhaps you can double check that.
woot, thank you! I’ve finally came across a website where the owner knows what they’re talking about. You know how many results are in Google when I check.. too many! It’s so annoying having to go from page after page after page, wasting my day away with tons of owners just copying eachother’s articles… ugh. Anyway, thankyou for the information anyway, much appreciated.
I love your website :) Greeting from Europe!
very great point. really good post by the way.
I found your post very interesting.
Waiting for the new article.
Can I make a suggestion? I think youve got something good here. But what if you added a couple links to a page that backs up what youre saying? Or maybe you could give us something to look at, something that would connect what youre saying to something tangible? Just a suggestion.
fairly useful material, on the whole I picture this is worthy of a bookmark, cheers
I’ll right away grab your rss as I can’t find your e-mail subscription link or e-newsletter service. Do you’ve any? Kindly let me know so that I could subscribe. Thanks.
Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.
