Readers Write: No reason for medical marijuana facility to move

The Island Now

Concerning your Editorial about ” Reefer Madness,” there are two major issues.

Where should the medical marihuana dispensary be located and, if it ever becomes legal, should it be at the same site. It is already located in the Town of North Hempstead (along with another dispensary of marihuana) so there is no reason to move it from its current location.

One of your more obvious false statements is …”to shunt the sickest among us to out-of-the-way places.”

The current facility to distribute marihuana for medical purposes exists is an excellent, appropriate site — by many medical buildings, oncologists offices and highways.

Moving it to Northern Boulevard in Manhasset would be an “out-of-way” place for most users, especially since most patients come from other areas of Nassau County.
