(420 posts)because it was too close to a school. I call bullshit on it. The state law maintains that dispensaries are at least 1,000 feet away from schools. I assumed it meant public schools which makes sense - state supported schools should have that right, and they frequently post "DRUG-FREE SCHOOL ZONE".
Why?
1) The school aformentioned is a PRIVATE JEWISH SCHOOL. - It should be wholly disqualified because the state is not paying for anything to send Jewish kids to these schools, thus not qualified to consider special treatment in terms of state law and MMJ.
1) 1.5 - nothing out there that correctly displays that Hillel Academy is a school zone.
2) The school's philosophy itself is far right wing (Think Hasidim).
3) The dispensary was more than 2.5 blocks away from the school.
4) The school is located in the middle of the hill, the dispensary is in the bottom of the hill, 3 block away.
Truth be told, they even have caution lights (on both sides of the road) to slow down (UP THE HILL with a 6% grade!) which I think they do not deserve to get from the state - I don't think they pay anything for that, and truth be told - I think they should billed $100,000 annually from the state in order to maintain that stupid light.
Hell, there's a public high school nearby (same one I graduated from) that is about 3 blocks away from a nearest MMJ - and it's not shut down.
The whole thing is stupid.
