The City of Chula Vista’s Public Safety Subcommittee will be meeting to discuss “Medical Marijuana Dispensaries” and crafting their recommendations to the Chula Vista City Council. The City currently has a moratorium on dispensaries which is due to expire on June 21st of this year. At the Wednesday meeting, the subcommittee is scheduled to hear reports from the Chula Vista City Attorney, Police Department, and the City’s Planning department. No medical marijuana patients or patient’s rights advocacy groups have been officially asked to present, however the committee has encouraged public input.
In order to prevent the City of Chula Vista from enacting an outright ban on access to medicine and instead adopt a reasonable regulation, it is critical that everyone who cares about this issue show up tonight at 6pm to the meeting and help present a patient perspective. The benefits well organized dispensaries bring to the patient community as well as the surrounding neighborhood are significant and should be brought to light at tonight's meeting.
Mark your calendars for Wednesday and take the time to attend and express your views on this issue. The prohibitionists and naysayers are planning on coming out in full force and we need your help to balance the one sided view that the committee will be hearing.
