This Petition addresses the plan to open cannabis dispensaries in Paterson without taking into account the general census of residents. The area is comprised of schools, houses of worship, family homes, and small businesses struggling to attract shoppers from all over the state.
We are concerned about the impact of such dispensaries on our community and youth. We urge our elected officials to work with the community to stop these outlets from opening in the heart of our community.
We urge our Mayor and city council members to adopt ordnance to opt-out of selling recreational Marijuana in our great city of Paterson.
