Whatever financial gains there may be are far outweighed by the effects of a populace hooked on drugs.   This is selling your soul and your values for a few dollars more.

Don’t give me the alcohol argument either, excess there is also a drag on the community.

I feel so strongly about this that I volunteer my time and energy, sometimes until 3:00 a.m. supporting the DUI Task Force as a Volunteer to rid our streets from those driving impaired.

We definitely need cannabis dispensarys in Sierra Vista and Benson. We are losing thousands of dollars by patrons having to travel to Tucson or Patagonia. Tax money alone can pay for city programs, not to mention making it easier for our residents to exercise their right to something that is now legal in Arizona.  

I have Fybromyalgia and cannabis has been a saving grace for me. It's not just a party drug as many think. It is so helpful in many ways! Having a dispensary closer will be very helpful.  Yes...there will be a monetary advantage with the local taxes. Good all the way around for Sierra Vista residents!
