Pot Club In My Neighborhood - Approved

-

This photo taken by me outside the building. What's funny about this is that they are thanking us, the sunset district neighborhood yet the entire neighborhood was opposed to them.

The pot club, or as they liked to be referred to as the medical marijuana dispensary down the street from my place has just been approved. They had heavy opposition from my district however the objections did not warrant banning their business. I have to say that I am still on the fence with this one. While I don't mind legalizing marijuana, I am worried that there will be an increase in crime in this neighborhood as a result. I guess we will just have to see what happens.

This is how they got gambling legalized in Detroit, where I live. They kept looking for odd loopholes to get it in. And then the state finally just gave in to them. I don't agree with either one, but I think people should be able to do whatever they want as long as they don't hurt anyone else.

Hopefully the cure offered will out weigh any problems.

I think most neighborhoods would oppose their presence. I guess now you'll just have to wait it out and see what happens once they open. I don't know if there are any crime statistics from other neighborhoods with a pot club.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
