A medical marijuana dispensary is revealed to open soon on a busy Taraval street despite witnessing huge criticism from residents in San Francisco's Sunset District.
“I don’t want a pot dispensary out here in our neighborhood. This is a family neighborhood and I’ve lived here 40 years,” quoted, Jan, an admitted former pot head.
The planning commission gave its red signal to the neighborhood’s first legally recognized medical marijuana facility.
The city's Planning Commission voted 5-1 on Friday to extend permission to neighborhood's first medical marijuana dispensary.
The pot dispensary, slated to open this summer, is to be set up between a Chinese-gospel church and a bird hospital.
The vote was polled after hours of crazed criticism from Sunset District residents. Many posted that a pot club did not belong in a neighborhood with so many schools and children.
Commissioners claimed that the complaints did not bear any form of exceptional and extraordinary circumstances required to reject a business that fulfills city requirements for the site.
