On the agenda:
Main Presentation: Cannabis in Rancho Bernardo
Scott Chipman, Vice President of AALM.info – Americans Against Legalizing Marijuana, will give the CON side of whether cannabis dispensaries should be allowed in our community of Rancho Bernardo. Note: The PRO side of this topic was presented at our September meeting.

His decades of community service have been as a parent/advocate, PTA president, local community planning group member and founder of several grass roots groups and campaigns focused on addressing social problems and providing solutions. He is co-founder of SavePB.org (a group of over 500 local Pacific Beach community members advocating for community issues), co-founder of San Diegans for Safe Neighborhoods (a coalition assisting local law enforcement in the closing of “pot” shops in the San Diego region and advocating for sound environmental policies) and Vice President of AALM.info – Americans Against Legalizing Marijuana – a national non-profit organization dedicated to providing the latest information on the harms of marijuana to individuals and to our country.
