    So you ban cigarette sales but will entertain cannibis? This should not even be an agenda item. You should be ashamed of yourselves for bullying and harassing the owner of the Smoke Shop (tobacco is 100% of his business, and he has a license to sell from the city) and many other who were adversely affected by the tobacco ban. This is outrageous.

    Good evening, I strongly oppose any Cannibis sales within our city limits. Since the Cannibis has been legalized in Los Angeles Co. and shops have popped up, delivery services made available, everyone is toking out...minors and oldies alike! I walk at 6am and smell weed, finding kids in night around GV school smoking. Marijuana IS a gateway drug and what's sold in Cannibis shops is NOT REGULATED! If Cannibis shops come to town, so will increased crime. By the way, isn't cigarette smoking illegal in public areas of MB? You really think with Cannibis store(s) in MB you wouldn't find folks toking out in public/parks/beach/strand? Come on man, do the right thing and keep the Cannibis stores out of Manhattan Beach, thank you.

    Hi all!
    On Fb a councilmember recently posted strong opposition to commercial cannabis sales in MB. The member in question seemed to have moral objections but did not elaborate.
    Please clarify how the city justifies alcohol sales, which is abused in far greater numbers, but bans cannabis sales. From a tax perspective, cannabis sales are revenue sources. Please disabuse yourselves of the notion that by banning physical storefront sales, MD residents will not purchase cannabis products as there is this new-fangled thing called the internet.
    I'm not a cannabis consumer myself but I fully support the right of residents to purchase a legal product.
    Please refrain from the development of public policy based on moralizing.
