MEDICAL MARIJUANA

My letter is in regards to your article about medicinal marijuana
growing in the Spallumcheen area.

I have lived most of my life as a resident of Armstrong/Spallumcheen
and I personally find this bylaw ridiculous.

I really don't see a problem with growing medicinal marijuana on
agricultural land in proximity to a few residential areas. The key
word here is medicinal. These places are for growing medicine.

Bylaws like this only enforce attitudes that these operations are
somehow borderline criminal, which is the only reason it would bring
down property values in the first place.

I personally am sick of hearing about any legislation that restricts
this most beneficial of medicines.
