Jurisdictions that have medical marijuana dispensaries report experiencing numerous negative impacts or secondary effects on their communities. The information provided comes from the following jurisdictions: Roseville, Oakland, Hayward, Lake County and Fairfax, but many of the same effects have already been felt in the City of Anaheim. 50. These negative secondary effects include: 1) Street level dealers selling to those going to the dispensary at a lower price. 2) Public marijuana smoking around the dispensary and at nearby parks. 3) Increased marijuana DUI accidents/ arrests. 4) Increased burglaries and robberies at/near the dispensaries. 5) Marijuana dealers obtain a doctor's recommendation to obtain marijuana from the dispensary, and then conduct illega! street sales to those who do not have a recommendation 6) Criminals are robbing medical use patients of their cash and/or marijuana. 7) Other illegal drugs are sold at the dispensaries. 8) Dispensaries are obtaining marijuana from illicit dealers. 9) Dispensaries attract criminals from outside the immediate area. 10) Minors become involved illegally in marijuana use; and 11}Legitimate businesses near dispensaries experience problems with perceptions of lack of safety for clients and employees and suffer actual financial loss due to increased criminal activity decreasing clients desire to frequent the legitimate business. 51. All of these negative secondary effects on the community can be avoided if marijuana dispensaries are not allowed to open or operate in the City of Anaheim and other communities.
