Capitola, Calif.- A local Capitola resident wants to open a medical marijuana dispensary between Gross Road and 41 St Avenue, a central location in the city. City Council Members will review the proposal tonight.
The lively coastal town, Capitola, does not have a law that allows or bans medical marijuana dispensaries,but that could change. City Council Member Kirby Nicol told me his concerns with allowing pot shops in Capitola. " I think the main concern would be the collateral damage that typically is associated with encouraging the use of control substances,"said Nicol.
He admits marijuana can help people ease people's pain, but says it's against federal law. And he does not see how pot shops can benefit Capitola. " I can't think of anything personally,"said Nicol.
But Mayor Sam Storey said he's keeping an open mind because it can bring in tax revenue, jobs,and help sick people. In addition, California law allows it. " With the depressed economy we need to keep our minds open and have new businesses,"said Storey.
There's definitely a lot for Council Members to think about tonight. And they'll find out what locals like Robin Gordon think. "There are people here that would definitely benefit from it. I really don't think it brings a wrong sort of crowd,"said Gordon.
