Wow, was watching the Ten P.M. News on FRYday Evening and saw the neighborhood anger toward the Marijuana dispensary in the 100 Block of North Milpas. The NIMBY's were downright angry and out in force, I have little doubt in my mind that something bad will happen to that place if it opens. I hope it has an alarm system. One woman from the Milpas association said. "We tell our children not to drink and do drugs and here we open a DRUG house in a neighborhood within walking distance of schools." I never heard of liquid marijuana, I guess maybe she was including alcohol in her little rant. There is no liquor store in that dispensary. I guess after they bully the dispensary out of the HOOD they will be going after the liquor stores in the HOOD too. Like Chapala market selling alcohol right across the parking lot of Santa Barbara junior high, the NERVE! That is a lot closer than the dispensary is to any school. What about the liquor store near Canon Perdido and Milpas? And Speedy Mart don't they have beer there right around the corner from Santa Barbara High School? WHAT MESSAGE ARE WE SENDING OUR CHILDREN? When alcohol is sold right around the corner from a learning institution?. How many other liquor stores are there on Milpas street? Trader Joes sells alcohol not too far from Franklin School. DOG FORBID! ALL THESE HOUSES OF SIN MUST BE CLOSED!

I mean if the Marijuana Dispensary cannot open, all the stores selling alcohol must go too, it's only right according to the representative of the Milpas Association. I can tell that the message their actions are sending toward other business owners in town cannot be good, some of them might back the actions of the "Milpas NIMBYS." Bullying a marijuana dispensary out of "Their HOOD." But if I was a business owner in Santa Barbara I would think twice about doing business here because one little hair in the wrong place with some folks can ruin a business. No wonder why storefronts are empty on State Street, maybe some reasons are the High Rents and the Homeless, but some reasons might be bad business. To let a business owner move into a structure, remodel it, approve all the permits and then condemn it from opening is BAD BUSINESS but I'm sure some of you know that. You're not stupid, but I bet you're counting on residents in Santa Barbara to be.

I hope if the owner of the Marijuana Dispensary is bullied out of the HOOD every cent he put into that building and is business is returned to him if not it would be theft. As far as my personal stake I have none. I cannot afford to see a doctor to get a prescription for the medication of my choice so that is that/ They might run me out next after losing what I lost/ I really don't give a shit anymore...I would feel the same way if this was a Toy store, I don't like Bullys, NIMBYS are a fact of life, they are everywhere/ Why am I not surprised the district city councilman flipped on this issue?

Roger, When I started your essay I thought, "What about the liquor stores?" And you voiced my thoughts perfectly. Dumb fools! A medical dispensary is basically a pharmacy. Will this marijuana paranoia ever end? The laws against marijuana started after probation, they wanted to get rid of the Mexicans in the Southwest who were here to work. It was legal to have it if you had a permit, but to get one you had to have some marijuana first. Then "boom" you were illegal and out of luck.

And that marijuana dispensary on Milpas is only for medical marijuana, supposedly only with a doctor's prescription, trying to help folks with medical issues that other drugs can't fix, like cancer treatments, etc.

What will the mob do when the open marijuana sales start?

I believe that open marijuana sales in Santa Barbara will be blocked personally I would be surprised if any place would be allowed to open even this place for medical weed...On the other hand most of the crime committed here is under a combo of drugs which seem to include meth and alcohol more than others...I'm not surprised that the Milpas NIMBYS were mixing alcohol and marijuana in their little rant I have never been violent on medication alcohol however is a much different story...Course if alcohol was outlawed in Santa Barbara there would be much less of everything here crime, houseless people, not need for so many police officers alcohol is a business like everything else and don't even think about taking alcohol away from the Milpas Nimbys...

It's a touchy subject. Sorry I called you a name. It's made me really angry that I can no longer smoke weed without worrying about losing my job. Maybe the next issue that this legalization movement should work on is legalizing it for everybody to use. Not just certain people. Employers need to ease up on marijuana when drug testing. As long as I'm not high at work. Why should they care?

That's all right I get called all kinds of names I just wish certain people would leave me alone before I do something bad but then again they say Older Folks are treated better in prison. Now my cat is under the weather and I'm thinking they dosed him. This weed thing sucks I can't afford the prescription and I can hardly move on the bright side someone told me I look good for 70 today, and I'm 59...

No I had no idea anything like this was going to happen I guess I am a stupid fool, but you can change positions but instead you choose to call people names and blame others, Typical....Thank You Rex saw the boarded up 7-11 the other day maybe they should close it and turn it into a police sub station.

Roger—your assessment of the NIMBYs is absolutely spot-on! The sheer hypocrisy of those who complain about dispensaries, while conveniently forgetting about all the existing liquor stores, is amazing. (Or maybe not). The former dispensary on upper De la Vina Street seemed to function very well and never was the source of any neighborhood problems. If you want t see a "problem" business, look no further than the parking lot of the 7-Eleven on E. Montecito Street. And pot has nothing to do with it.

You knew this would happen if marijuana was legalized. It should never have happened. I smoked for 30 years and never got tested by my employer until this year. Now I get tested every few months. Stupid fools, you ruined it for the hard workers that liked to unwind after work. You deserve whatever you get from society now.
