my name is greg ledbetter, i am the activities director for access with love, and also on the board of directors of cannabis policy. the patients that come before you as well as the patients that are behind me are the citizens of san francisco. i'm here to share a story with you about a phone call i received. i once used to work with sister reverend randy webster. and upon it closing, the building itself went to a met morphysis of sorts. it once was geared to be a flower shop. then they said, no, we're going to turn around and make a gym out of it. then, just prior to them getting ready to open, they came with this wonderful idea, hey, let's make it a dispensary the way it was. well, the neighbors didn't care -- due process wasn't done in order for that to happen and the neighborhood came out in hordes. the point i'm trying to make is there are outside entities trying to take vested interests of san francisco medical cannabis dispensaries. the things that are in place right now need to be strenuously looked at in order to preserve the patients' rights as well as the dispensary owners'
