[quote=Anonymous]The applicant cares. He said when asked that he wouldn’t want one across the street from his kid’s’ school. And yet he’s still applying for a license across from a school. He said he didn’t realize. But the law does not allow him to change location now. The window is closed. So even though he wouldn’t want it across from his kids’ school he’s still pushing forward with this application because he can’t change location under the transition legislation. Allen and Pinto tried to fix this issue with their emergency legislation. Half of the Council voted against it. And so either there will be a cannabis retailer near a school or the applicants application  be denied. If the emergency legislation had been passed then there would have been a middle ground.

[quote=Anonymous]Good lord, who cares?

Kids under 21 aren't even allowed to buy pot, why does it matter if it's being sold to legal, consenting adults in the vicinity?

If stores are selling to underage kids, that's a completely separate problem and can be dealt with separately without throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Nobody flips their lid over restaurants serving cocktails or supermarkets selling beer near schools, why would pot be any different?[/quote][/quote]
