THE DEPUTY DISTRICT OFFICER OF THE SAN DIEGO SBA OFFICE.

>> THEY REALIZED THE NOT ALL SMALL BUSINESSES HAD CURRENT ACCOUNTS ALREADY ESTABLISHED LENDERS.

>> DESPITE THE MAJORITY OF RESIDENTS VOTING FOR PROPOSITION 64 TO LEGALIZE RECREATIONAL POT IN 2016, THE CITY COUNCIL VOTED TO MOVE FORWARD ON CONTINUING A BAN ON ILLEGAL DISPENSARIES WITHIN LIMITS.

>> HE HOPED TO OPEN A STORE BUT UNDERSTANDS THE COUNCIL'S DECISION.

>> IT REALLY PUT US DOWN A LITTLE BIT BUT THEN WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE PERSPECTIVE OF WHY THE CITY HAD DONE THAT.

WE WERE THINKING IT IS A GOOD BENEFIT FOR THAT PARTICULAR CITY IN SOME AREAS, TOO, BECAUSE OF THE HIGH CRIMES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

>> ACCORDING TO THE INSTITUTE, VIOLENT CRIMES HAVE NEITHER INCREASE OR DECREASE SIGNIFICANTLY IN PLACES WHERE CANNABIS IS LEGAL, THERE IS SOME EVIDENCE THAT TEENS ARE USING CANNABIS MORE POST LEGALIZATION.

THAT'S THE REASON WHY DAISY SAID A JUNIOR TOLD THE COUNCIL AND THE MAY 19th MEETING, SHE DOES NOT WANT DISPENSARIES IN THE CITY.

>> I GET TO SEE A LOT OF KIDS BE INTOXICATED IN CLASS AND IS NOT A GOOD FEELING.

I THINK ADDING THAT IN THIS COMMUNITY WILL ONLY MEMORIALIZE MARIJUANA EVEN MORE.

SHE WAS ONE OF TWO DISSENTING VOTES.
