"City Weighs Medical Pot Ban" (The Daily Journal)

Redwood City has placed a suspension of activity on medical marijuana businesses, until decided otherwise by the Planning Commission. City staff has found it "costly and time consuming" to have enforcement on the businesses. The temporary moratorium that has been placed could, in place of a ban, ask for just limited number of facilities to be allowed. I feel that the issue of marijuana, whether it be used for medical purposes or not, (as obvious as it sounds) will always remain a controversy. No matter what the city decides to do, there will always be people who will fight for the opposite, especially with the circumstances of our economy. In my opinion, it would be unfair to have the city ban medical marijuana indefinitely. Although there is the issue of crimes escalating, there are still people who need it for medical purposes.
