I just don't understand why the city of Colfax has kept this business as medical only. There is no fear no one is going to sell your any children any marijuana products. The family who owns and operates this business are some of the most honest people I know. As a patient of GSPC I truly hope that the city will reconsider.

Dear Colfax,
I am appalled at your unconstitutional, arbitrary and capricious attempt at reducing the amount of sales of the dried natural plant flower of cannabis. The cannabis plant (marijuana) has been deemed legal in the State of California, and your restriction of my ability to access it is without Merit.
If you do not permit legal cannabis sales, (without a medical recommendation), I will be filing suit against the city of Colfax, and seeking damages for all incidental, consequential, and nominal damages, resulting from your unconstitutional regulations.
Sincerely,
Frank Raniolo

I live in Colfax by the highschool, I am all for Golden State Patient Care to allow adult use cannabis in their store, I regularly use the online deliveries and it's ok I guess, but it's uncomfortable when the delivery driver offers you products that are on sell that they have in their vehicle. Most of the products don't look like what's on their menu. I think it would be best if I could go in and shop locally. I can walk right in to the Nevada City dispensary with my ID, but it's too far sometimes.

Dear City of Colfax,
My name is Christian Elliott & I have lived here in Colfax since 1979. P. O. Box 957, 22935 Tree Farm Rd.
I'm writing to show my support of recreational cannibus here in Colfax. I believe we would benefit financially from the increased taxes. People that would normally make the drive down the hill or to Grass Valley would be spending their money locally & also not acquiring cannibus thru unlawful means.
Also, I believe that this business has shown itself to be an outstanding contributor & asset, to our community, financially & with security of the location.
Please consider an Aye!
Thank you for your time & consideration,
Christian Elliott

Yes on recreational pot, because Colfax loses out greatly on revenue. They all go to Nevada city. Everyone goes there or Sacramento so what is the point in holding the town back from profit. It needs another dispensary or allow the current one to sell recreational in addition to medically.

To whom it may concern, I am in favor of recreational Marijuana sales in the city of Colfax, as long as it is within the laws. There are many people who can benefit from cannabis, who may have medical issues and choose to not get a medical endorsement. Marijuana is not a gateway drug, it is a medicine for many people. The revenue that Colfax could make from recreational sales tax could greatly benefit our town. Colfax is and always will be a tourist town. The revenue from recreational Marijuana users who are waiting for the freeway to reopen during winter months could be exponential. Currently the town of Colfax is suffering because all that revenue is headed directly to Nevada City. GSPC has been providing patients with access to their medication for over 20 years! People who might otherwise have to go without, due to transportation issues. GSPC has always been a transparent business, I see no reason to deny GSPC a recreational Marijuana license.
Sincerely,
Tanya Nolan...

My name is Melissa Belis and I am a Colfax resident for the last 5 years. I am in support of our local medical marijuana dispensary becoming a recreational dispensary as well. I'd like to see our local family and business profiting from recreational sales. Instead of giving my business to Weedmaps and having the convenience of home delivery from outside companies that deliver to my front door. Our local dispensary should be able to profit from those sales as well. Colfax would also benefit from the extra taxes this would bring in. Thank you for your time.

Hello! My name is John (Andy) Cave III. This Wednesday, July 26th, 2023 there is a meeting being held to discuss the recreational Marijuana buisness proposal for Colfax. I 100% support this, for multiple reasons. One of which, being the community getting what they want with the convenience of it being local and convenient. But almost just as equally important, is the enormous tax revenue, upwards of 25% on the products sold.
As well as City Tax that would be generated by such businesses being in Colfax. The annual amount being made is astonishing, in our surrounding area cities like Nevada City and Lake Tahoe.
Not to mention lessening the chance of people buying substandard or not safe products from the street. These facilities products are HEAVILY tested over and over through State inspections by law.
This revenue is in dyer need for our town, as we have all seen more and more businesses dissappear from our streets. We all have to start realizing WHERE the money is in 2023, it is in the younger generations.
Ages 21-40 are spending alot more then any other age group in America. It has been trending this way for a while now and all of America is adjusting to capitalize on it. Now it's our turn.
We have to harness that, we can be a small town and still have booming businesses. It is a delicate balance, but is definitely needed.
With that being said, the Recreational Marijuana should be carefully governed and watched by the City as it is in other cities in California. The facilities I have seen and been to throughout California are very clean, organized inside and out.
As well as their outside parking lots are always kept free of vagrants or loitering. Buildings and structures in good conditions and cause no eye sores for the cities they are in.
I invite the council to look into and study some of surrounding recreational Marijuana Pharmacys in the area for better outlook and and good data on the successes and strengths that these businesses provide :)
My vote is yes to recreational Marijuana.
Thank You for your time!

To whom it may concern, I fully support having Adult Cannabis shop in Colfax. I have anxiety issues and prefer natural remedies instead of pills. I currently go to Grassvalley for my needs so it would be great to have it available in my town. It would also be convenient for the elderly who may not have transportation to get to another town for there needs. Thank you for you time, Donna

I absolutely am in favor of adult recreational Marijuana use. Colfax is behind the times, and it has cost us greatly in annual revenue as customer simply go to Nevads City, or worse, use mobile dispensaries which do not have regulated and clean product.

Dear City Officials,
I am writing to express my support for the opening of a recreational marijuana dispensary in the city of Colfax. I believe that such a dispensary will provide a safe and regulated source of marijuana for adults over the age of 21 who choose to use it.
I understand the concerns that some may have about the use of marijuana, but I believe that a dispensary can help to promote responsible use and education.
I urge you to grant permission for the dispensary to sell recreational marijuana, and to work with the owners to ensure that their operations are in compliance with all local laws and regulations. I believe that this will be a positive step forward for our city, and will provide a valuable service to those who choose to use marijuana.
Thank you for your consideration of my views.
Sincerely,

To whom it may concern,
I'm emailing you regarding the use of recreational cannabis in the town of colfax. As a business owner myself, I think the revenue generated from the sales of recreational cannabis will greatly benefit the city. Please take into consideration that other county's are allotting the sales of recreational cannabis.
The sales of recreational cannabis in a store is much safer to the user then buying from an unknown source. Please also keep in mind that it's still regulated on age. When it's sold on your streets any age can purchase.
Getting it off the streets, as local businesses make it easier to get from a store also in a controlled environment, it's less likely to be attractive to sale on the streets. Which in return will bring less crime to the streets of our beautiful town.
Best regards,

I am definitely for allowing the sales of recreational use Marijuana in Colfax. Presently if you do not have a medical use card, then you have 2 choices. Both will burn alot of gasoline going to Nevada City or Sacramento area. Not very green choices. It makes absolutely no sense to have to drive long distances. And how many of those drivers are stoned driving around to find a collective ?? Just stupid zoning law that wasn't thought thru.

I have been a resident of Colfax for over 20 years. I strongly recommend that sale of recreational cannabis be allowed in the city limits. It would generate a lot of tax revenue for the city and would please a great many residents in the area.
I know this request was due at noon. I have been unable to send until now.
Thank you,

Please allow for the sales of recreational cannabis
I do not do it for recreational purposes but I do have a medicinal need. It can bring in a lot of revenue for our town. Let them operate the same as California goes.
Thank you kindly.
