Gilliam Weed Research in Vegas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From Isaac Brumer:<\/span>\u00a0Mr. Mayor: First up, bravo for engaging people. Before you devote more of your scarce time and energy on legal weed for AC: Did Las Vegas have nothing going for it before it legalized weed? Or was it already a world-class city that people\u00a0came to visit, live and do business in?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Atlantic City Mayor Frank Gilliam traveled to Las Vegas to attend a fact-finding trip to gather information about legal weed in another gaming state, Nevada.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Would legal weed be a \u201cnice to have\u201d for AC? Sure. But there are fundamental things that need to be addressed first, like the city\u2019s overall solvency and attractiveness. First up, AC needs to decide who is its clientele and work on making it a city that works for them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mayor Gilliam Explores Possibility of Legal Marijuana in Atlantic City<\/h2>\n

For years, AC keeps dreaming that it\u2019ll attract \u201cmillennials\u201d, so it throws a few big shows on the beach. But the rest of the year, AC\u2019s \u201ccustomers\u201d are not hard to figure out. They\u2019re older. They\u2019re less white. They\u2019re more likely to be not born here. These are the people who see AC as \u201ctheir place in the sun\u201d. Celebrate them. Promote to them. Make them feel at home. Convince them to rent, buy, build. Convince their kids to stay. To do that, you need a city that\u2019s perceived as safe and fiscally sound, with government that\u2019s responsive. And the city needs to express a spirit of welcome to diversity.<\/p>\n

This is what will turn around AC. Weed? (Which is in a temporary state of being technically illegal, but which will eventually be legal EVERYWHERE.) Not so much.<\/p>\n

From Jacquelyn Williamson:<\/span>\u00a0Ok Mayor I know you’re getting all the information that we need to transform our town from Debt vs Debt free Production… No town in NJ. Deserves It more…The Casino closing has hurt us bad…It seems like we were Sold Out , this the Cannabis Industry will change the whole State of New Jersey and surrounding States Economics…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

From Valeria J Marcus:<\/span>\u00a0Weed; there\u2019s new data it can still be harmful. We must be careful if NJ approves it for pain. A limit how much one can purchase yearly, because prescription weed can affect brains cells for a lifetime.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

From Jenn Toland:<\/span>\u00a0I could use medical marijuana for my seizures, but it’s not covered by my insurance and it’s expensive to go to a Dr to prescribe it. This would be great for people like me and for our state’s income!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
