DESCRIPTION:From Valerie Leveroni Corral, WAMM Phytotherapies, Executive 
 Director:\n\nWAMM Phyto NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT\nTHURSDAY MARCH 7, 7pm\nCITY 
 COUNCIL CHAMBERS \nSANTA CRUZ, CA 95060\n\nCALL TO ACTION - WAMM Phyto 
 NEEDS  YOUR HELP! And we need it TODAY..\n\nAs you know for more than three 
 decades, WAMM Phytotherapies has provided safe access to cannabis medicines 
 for sick and dying members of our community at no cost.\n\nFor 19 years our 
 dispensary was located on the Westside. Our work touches lives, gives hope, 
 and provides plant medicines, making illness and death a little less 
 painful. Our vision to provide services coupled with our commitment to 
 holistic care and the health of our community remains unwavering. We now 
 have a rare opportunity to partner with the Hook Outlet Dispensary, a 
 successful local company who shares our values and is committed to WAMM 
 Phytotherapies’ provision of cannabis medicines to our needy 
 members.\n\nIn fact, this is the only way that WAMM Phyto will be able to 
 continue our unprecedented work.\nIt’s been incredibly difficult to find 
 a space that meets the rigors of State and City regulations and setbacks 
 (600 ft from a school). The old Emily’s Bakery site meets all the 
 criteria. We aren’t asking for a special use, so there should be no 
 problem in opening.\n\nHowever, the school board opposes this plan, fearing 
 that youth would have easy access to cannabis. We appreciate this concern 
 and that is why for 30 years we have made it our priority to safeguard 
 youth from access. It is not difficult to do in a protected environment. No 
 youth under 19 years of age, even with a medical card will be permitted to 
 enter this secured and safe facility which is dedicated to serving 
 adults.\n\nPlease support us!! Your letter is important and your support 
 will make the Difference.\n\nWE NEED YOUR HELP TODAY! Time is of the 
 essence! ACT TODAY.\n\nThe Planning Commission and City Council need to 
 hear from you. \n\n1. Follow this link and sign to support us and,\n

 support\n Thursday, March 7th, 7pm\n City Council Chambers\n 809 Center st. 
 Santa Cruz, 95060 and,\n3. Forward this email to all you know who will 
 offer support.\n\nWith many thanks to our community for decades of support,
