RANCHO POT TAX APPLAUDED

Re "Rancho voters weigh pot tax" ( Our Region, Aug. 29 ): I applaud Rancho Cordova for taking steps to limit marijuana growing on residential properties. I have never observed a pot house that has been a positive influence on a neighborhood.

I speculate that much of the "medical marijuana" distribution goes to recreational users. If for medical use, why isn't a marijuana prescription required to be filled by a licensed pharmacist who is responsible for the authenticity of the prescription?

I urge voters to vote no on Proposition 19 and to support any local ordinances that limit marijuana growing in our residential neighborhoods. The operations simply do not attract the crowd that make for good neighborhoods for raising families.
