City Council supports alcohol, yet votes against weed
Hip_hip hooray! Fresno gets more liquor. That is just what the drunkest town in America needs.
Fresno also has more liquor stores per capita than any town in America. But the Fresno City Council acts like marijuana is worse than hard booze. Men’s Health magazine’s survey found we were the drunkest town in America. They say they go by medical statistics. Liver disease is the main one. Fresno has more than than its share of that.
What about drunk drivers? How about all the deaths caused by alcoholism?
So don't act like keeping recreational marijuana dispensaries illegal in Fresno is for the good of the people. I guess Fresno wants more alcoholics. That's just insane. How can the council justify its actions ? So just keep drinking, the city is with them.
