Letter to the editor: Vote yes on cannabis retail

Please vote “Yes on 3” to enable Middlebury to develop regulations to permit a retail marijuana shop to do business here. Such a shop will bring many good citizens to Middlebury and thereby benefit our downtown. Not having a marijuana shop here will just motivate residents of Addison County to shop elsewhere. It will not increase the usage of marijuana, which, by the way, produces far less anti-social behavior than liquor does.
