I suffer from chronic back pain. Drugs from one of SidneyB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s five drug stores work but have many side effects including addiction. Liquor works from one of SidneyB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s five liquor stores but can cause addiction and violence and other medical problems.

Cannabis works from one of SidneyB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s only two dispensaries. Cannabis reduces my pain to tolerable levels. The side effects are being hungry and happy and friendly. I have a prescription for it. Still the town council deems cannabis, which is legal, canB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t be sold in more than two locations.

The town should let demand decide how many cannabis stores can survive here. If itB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s not convenient to buy IB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ll grow my own, which is legal.
