*******Here are some concerns provided by some UNA residents*********

➢ Wellbeing and safety of children
➢ Unpleasant odour/Second-hand smoke
➢ Existing easy accessible Cannabis stores and online order & delivery
➢ Negative impact to the business of surrounding stores
➢ Culture shock for Tourist/UBC international Students
➢ Criminal record and unnecessary trouble caused to many non-Canadian citizens in our neighbourhood (lose their opportunity of returning to Canada)
➢ Disincentivizing talents worldwide (professors, students, families) from attending UBC area if cannabis is not legalin their country. Harm both UBC and Canada’s long-term economy.
