I wouldn't say "everywhere" but considering the facts that marijuana is legal at the state level and it produces a large amount of revenue in taxes, why wouldn't you want to have that economic opportunity in Redmond? You want everyone to go buy their weed in Bend and they enjoy all the profits?

Im allergic to marihuana, CBD, hemp. But I have nothing against it. Who cares? To me they are no different than a liquor store.

It should be legal simply for the whole reason it’s been shown to help with mental issues such as PTSD, reducing physical pain, helps with those undergoing chemotherapy and the like. Recreationally, it’s a hell of a better than using tobacco products or alcohol and while it impairs, it’s not as bad.

It is ridiculous that Redmond passes on the revenue from having a dispensary here. It's not like the people of Redmond aren't going to use Marijuana just because it isn't sold here.

If they are located in communities where people smoke then the county would be able to benefit from taxing it and help support the community. Keeping the dispensary away will not keep the weed away from the town that refuses one

I don't want them anywhere, the only winners are the sellers. It's an under taxed industry. Probably as much sold on the black market as in the store front.

It is just like inviting more drunk divers on the road. Anyone that doesn't think it impairs your ability to do things are lying.

Absolutely NOT! I do not think it should have ever been legalized! The horrible policies the Demarcates put in place are destroying this country! We will not comply with their horrible socialist agenda! Lets get together and vote the Demarcates out of Oregon!!!

There is literally no proof that marijuana os bad for you unless you’re driving while impaired with it. Otherwise it’s literally been proven to help with a whole slew of health issues such as PTSD, cancer, physical pain and other issues as well

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

Who cares? How is it not fair? Anyone can write a letter. Just another issue liberal politicians waste time and money on.

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
