Good Morning
I am writing this email for my concerns with the dispensary in South Salinas. I'm against the location here in South Salinas as the area that is being considered is located near restaurants, grocery stores, barbershops, and churches that host multiple families at time. Our families already have to hear and witness so much other crime throughout the city! The concerns are the negativity that this may bring to my community. Just take a look into any online publication dispensary are often targeted by criminals, not to mention the new rate DUI/DWI that would take place because an irresponsible individual wanted to smoke before he/she arrive at the their next destination! Thank you for your time
Ben

Hello!
I'm writing in regards to the proposed cannabis dispensary on S Main. I do NOT agree with this addition to our town. Not only is it directly across the street from a pharmacy, it's just down the street from a high school. I do not think this is a good idea. I also don't feel it's good because we already have dispensaries nearby, like East of Eden. This town does NOT need anymore dispensaries. I think you should use the building for something that is positive and productive.
Thank you!

Subject: Legacy furniture into Cannacruz
CAUTION: This message originated outside of the City of Salinas email system. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you are sure the content is safe.
I am eager to voice my enthusiasm for Cannacruz's proposed relocation to Legacy Furniture from Abbott Street! The decision to move to a new location reflects Cannacruz's commitment to providing its patrons with an enhanced experience. As someone who frequents Cannacruz, I can attest to the consistently high standards of professionalism and service upheld by the establishment. The cleanliness of the premises and the warmth exhibited by the staff have always left a positive impression on me.
The potential for a larger venue holds the promise of accommodating more customers and generating increased revenue for our city.
Given Cannacruz's significant contribution of over 1.7 million in tax revenues last year, it is evident that the business has solidified its place in our community. As a loyal customer, I am fully supportive of Cannacruz's ambition to transition into the new building. The prospect of an expanded space, coupled with the exceptional service already synonymous with the brand, is truly exciting.
I am confident that the proposed move will not only benefit Cannacruz but also enrich the local community. Thank you for considering my perspective on this matter.

Hello, we do not need that on S Main street. Our city has enough problems. This will increase traffic, there is minimal parking and there is already one down the street. Keep this stuff off of Main street. Better in industrial areas. People that want it will find it.
Thank you,

Please do NOT allow Cannacruz to go into the old Legacy building on South Main. There has been so much work put in to revitalize South Main Street (bravo! Thank you!) and this would definitely be a step backwards. I have lived and worked in Salinas for 10 years and have 3 young children. I have been impressed with the family oriented community we are privileged to experience here. Seeing a huge cannabis dispensary upon entering our town is not who Salinas is and is not who I want our town to become. Thank you for your time. 1 Thomas Wiles

Dear city of salinas,
Putting up a marijuana store on Main Street is a terrible mistake. Marijuana, while no longer illegal, has not contributed to society in a productive way; there are greater measures of contribution to society than just money.
Placing such a store in such a high traffic spot will surely contribute to the further normalization of use, and that would be a detriment to our society. Our city should be working to empower more businesses to start by cutting so much of the red tape rather than upholding a substance and lifestyle which essentially stupefies a population.
Please consider an alternative to placing a dispensary at the old legacy furniture store.
Prayers for the best for all of you at the city.

I would like to say I object to :
The proposal to convert the Legacy Furniture building on South Main Street to a cannabis dispensary.
This is a welcome corridor to Salinas and a Cannabis dispensary, as a huge landmark, is not the way we need to greet people to Salinas. Also the shopping center across the way and the restaurants and doctors office close by are Family friendly and the dispensary should not be near them. The current location of the east of Eden dispensary is in a more industrial and less family friendly are makes more sense.
Thank you

Hello. My name is Marlisa Blueford. I live in South Salinas and am against having a Cannabis dispensery built in the old Legacy Furniture store. All money is not good money. The city should look into other businesses that more people could benefit from, especially the youth, such as an indoor skating rink.
My contact number is 831-229-3755.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
