KEEP POT SHOPS OUT OF OUR COMMUNITIES

Regarding the article "Will San Diego be a pot mecca?" (Jan. 24): It 
is important to know that the pro-pot people from outside the cities 
of La Mesa and Encinitas spent at least $130,000 on fliers and 
endless robocalling.

The ballot measures' titles were misleading since they called for 
"regulating pot shops," confusing to those who voted "Yes" mistakenly 
so that there would be precautions in place to protect their towns 
and kids. Thankfully the majority voted "No."

Residents of these cities will not change their minds because San 
Diego City Council and staff did not read the attorney general 
guidelines, which state marijuana is to be exchanged between a 
patient and a caregiver, not sold from a store.
