This Initiative Is Not About Access

Thanks to Easy Reader News for quoting me. “Heidi Swan told the council, ‘The city of Hermosa Beach is 1.4 square miles, so it’s a very short drive if you want to go outside our city to get products. Obviously, this initiative is not about access. There are many of us who feel there is too much access to marijuana and other drugs and that access is causing or exacerbating many of our problems today. So, if it’s not really about access, then what is this initiative about? It looks like it’s about normalizing marijuana in Hermosa Beach. It says we as a city are cool with dealing drugs.’”
