Many US Communities Blocking Medical Marijuana
By GEOFF MULVIHIL - MSN News
(AP) More and more states are saying yes to medical marijuana. But local governments are increasingly using their laws to just say no, not in our backyard.
Local politicians have argued that pot is still illegal under federal law, that marijuana dispensaries bring crime, and that such businesses are just fronts for drug-dealing, supplying weed to people who aren't really sick.
Cities and towns are prohibiting dispensaries outright or applying zoning ordinances so strict that they amount to the same thing. The ordinances typically set minimum distances between such businesses and schools, homes, parks and houses of worship.
We urge you to contact your local mayor, aldermen or town council members and find out where they stand on medical marijuana and how they plan to stop its spread.
