Little did I realize that my vote was giving an OK for hundreds of these shops to open statewide. I want my "yes" vote back. When the active ingredients of this product are isolated and sold as a legitimate drug in a drugstore, I'll restore my "yes" vote. Sacramento County supervisors got it right with their restrictions.
