I would support the City's decision not to participate in the legalized trade of marijuana for medicinal use. There are numerous potential risks associated with using marijuana for medicinal purposes that must be considered, including potential harm to public health, impacts on vulnerable populations, potential access to illicit markets, and a lack of research that definitively proves the beneficial medical effects of marijuana. In addition, allowing a municipality to become involved in the medical marijuana industry creates complex ethical, moral, and legal considerations that should be carefully considered. Until further scientific research and data is available, I believe caution should be exercised when considering the use of marijuana for medical purposes.
