With the recent release of a draft ordinance for cannabis regulation in San Juan Bautista, we feel the need to voice our support of this in a formalized manner.
Those who are signing this petition are either residents of the city of San Juan Bautista, owners of businesses inside the city of San Juan Bautista, and/or residents of the county of San Benito. Some of us are patients of medical cannabis, some of us intend to be users of an adult-use market in 2018, some of us voted in favor of PROP 64; while others of us are neither patients or end users, but are in support of those who wish to do so have safe access to a regulated cannabis market.
Cannabis has been wrongfully criminalized and we do not agree with further legal persecution of this plant any longer. This petition signifies our support of cannabis regulation and cannabis businesses being allowed within city limits. By signing we are showing our collective support away from criminalization and towards legalization. We understand with the passing of the AUMA PROP 64, this municipality has the authority to allow or ban our access to both medicinal and adult-use cannabis. By signing this petition, we are asking the city council specifically to not take this action.
We implore the city council of San Juan Bautista, to make their regulating decision based on facts and science. We believe the benefit to our community far outweighs the potential risks associated with cannabis businesses.
We have signed this petition with the intention of supporting this draft ordinance being adopted to the San Juan Bautista Municipal Code, with some edits. Those of us who have specific edits or information for the council, regarding this ordinance, will email the members of the city council directly and/or be present for public comment on December 6th, 2017 at 6pm for the public meeting.
We thank the city council of San Juan Bautista for hearing the voices of their stakeholders and constituency, and applying what they hear into the city code.

I really never expected this to grow beyond a few friends, but watching so many people come together like this is completely humbling. This momentum belongs entirely to you all. I am just grateful to be part of what you have built.

Finally some common sense coming to town. We voted for this so let us have it already.
Keep the tax money local instead of sending us to Hollister or Gilroy every time. Its time to join the 21st century and stop acting like this is still the 50s.
Has anyone seen the crime this dispensaries bring to towns? San Juan does no have police and they take up to 45 mins to respond to any crime in san juan. San Juan does not need this trash in town. This sounds to me like one person who acts like she wants to help "heal" patients but in reality its about HER making money. She does not care about San Juan if she did she wouldnt want to bring crime to this small town. How many times has the gas station, windmill market, Neils market and the old Bank been robbed, and the crooks got away because there is no police in town.
Living with chronic pain is no joke. Driving all the way out of town for my medicine is just plain stupid when we could have a clean shop right here.
There are some people who abuse medical cannabis and there are some who really truly need cannabis for their health.
I am 100% in support of safe access for medicinal cannabis in SJB
I'm all for it! Many many benefits!

I am a resident of San Juan bautista and have been for Over 20 years, I support the use of medical marijuana and would love to see a despensery open in town to help support our town and sick citizens who suffer from many illnesses. It would help our town and decrease travel and time for many residents while giving back to our town.
