She believes dispensaries’ guards and cameras act as the “capable guardian,” explaining the absence of crime directly around them. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To explain rising crime in adjacent areas, she adds:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I’m someone who normally doesn’t go through a particular neighborhood, but all of a sudden a dispensary opens up and I know I use the dispensary and I start going through this neighborhood, I’ll be more familiar with the neighborhood — when people are around, when they’re not. And if there’s an opportunity where it looks like nobody’s around and, oh look, I can steal this bike … maybe I’ll steal that opportunity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freisthler says there’s still much to learn when it comes to dispensaries and crime, like who are the perpetrators and who are the victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But speaking to Smith’s neighbors, I found mixed sentiments about a new dispensary there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few neighbors expressed concern, especially with a transitional home for foster youth across the street from the dispensary’s proposed location. Others — medical marijuana users themselves or relatives of users — say they look forward to easier access to medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And medicine was the word Sue Taylor, the applicant behind iCann, emphasized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor, a former Catholic school principal who is on the board of the Alameda County Advisory Commission on Aging, spoke to the stigma she held before learning more about marijuana’s medicinal purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They just see it as drugs, and drugs coming into their community,” says Taylor, “So it’s our job to let them see and let them know who we are and what we’re bringing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Smith doesn’t buy it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medicinal or not, Smith says he’s watched families in his community gradually “spiral out of control” because of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people that I know who use marijuana as a supposed medication ran into the same problem that people who take opioids as a medication,” says Smith.”Their family members get involved in it, not to help with it but use it. Ultimately the youngsters in the family get addicted to the same thing. And eventually, marijuana will lead to opioids, will lead to harder stuff out on the street. I have watched them spiral out of control.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no evidence that these events necessarily follow medicinal marijuana use. But a recent \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2016/03/23/like-alcohol-heavy-pot-use-linked-to-economic-social-problems/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">international study conducted by UC Davis\u003c/a> suggests regular marijuana use may be associated with social and economic setbacks for adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless of the science, one thing that remains firm is Smith’s opinion: He doesn’t like it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m no saint,” laughs Smith, “When I was in the military, I tried it. I thought it was something stupid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Smith what he’d do if the dispensary does end up in his neighborhood, especially in light of the transitional home across the street, the area’s violent history and the fact that many of the neighborhood residents are renters today – according to Smith – with presumably less investment in cleaning it up if past issues return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says he’ll just keep fighting.\u003c/p>\n\n",

She believes dispensaries’ guards and cameras act as the “capable guardian,” explaining the absence of crime directly around them. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To explain rising crime in adjacent areas, she adds:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I’m someone who normally doesn’t go through a particular neighborhood, but all of a sudden a dispensary opens up and I know I use the dispensary and I start going through this neighborhood, I’ll be more familiar with the neighborhood — when people are around, when they’re not. And if there’s an opportunity where it looks like nobody’s around and, oh look, I can steal this bike … maybe I’ll steal that opportunity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freisthler says there’s still much to learn when it comes to dispensaries and crime, like who are the perpetrators and who are the victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But speaking to Smith’s neighbors, I found mixed sentiments about a new dispensary there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few neighbors expressed concern, especially with a transitional home for foster youth across the street from the dispensary’s proposed location. Others — medical marijuana users themselves or relatives of users — say they look forward to easier access to medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And medicine was the word Sue Taylor, the applicant behind iCann, emphasized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor, a former Catholic school principal who is on the board of the Alameda County Advisory Commission on Aging, spoke to the stigma she held before learning more about marijuana’s medicinal purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They just see it as drugs, and drugs coming into their community,” says Taylor, “So it’s our job to let them see and let them know who we are and what we’re bringing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Smith doesn’t buy it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medicinal or not, Smith says he’s watched families in his community gradually “spiral out of control” because of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people that I know who use marijuana as a supposed medication ran into the same problem that people who take opioids as a medication,” says Smith.”Their family members get involved in it, not to help with it but use it. Ultimately the youngsters in the family get addicted to the same thing. And eventually, marijuana will lead to opioids, will lead to harder stuff out on the street. I have watched them spiral out of control.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no evidence that these events necessarily follow medicinal marijuana use. But a recent \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2016/03/23/like-alcohol-heavy-pot-use-linked-to-economic-social-problems/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">international study conducted by UC Davis\u003c/a> suggests regular marijuana use may be associated with social and economic setbacks for adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless of the science, one thing that remains firm is Smith’s opinion: He doesn’t like it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m no saint,” laughs Smith, “When I was in the military, I tried it. I thought it was something stupid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Smith what he’d do if the dispensary does end up in his neighborhood, especially in light of the transitional home across the street, the area’s violent history and the fact that many of the neighborhood residents are renters today – according to Smith – with presumably less investment in cleaning it up if past issues return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
