Email Dear Mayor Salas and City Council,
My name is Becky Rapp, youth group mentor and mother of six, Three of
whom are young adults. It concerns me that the city is considering
increasing the number of marijuana outlets in our city. I am very aware of
the harms that marijuana commercialization and normalization are
creating for these young adults and their friends.
We are living in unprecedented times. We're given the opportunity to
take a step back and be with and talk to our young adults. They express
concern for their peers, the stress and anxiety they are experiencing. This
is a time to take a stand and push back on addictive substances that are
more likely to produce anxiety, agitation, paranoia, and psychosis.
The citizens of Chula Vista did not ask for marijuana to be accessible in
their city. Isn't it time to listen to your constituents?
I would urge you to gather more information from police and school
districts to help ensure your making the best decision for our community
and our youth. They need you more than ever to help educate and protect
them.
Thank you.
