Upcountry Community Council met Monday night, holding part two on its forum regarding marijuana and its legalization.
After its panel of mostly law enforcement officers last month, UCC invited a different diverse group of knowledgeable professionals to discuss the issue of marijuana and its legalization for medical and recreational use. Included were doctors, a public health official, a rehab facility worker and even a UC Davis professor.
There was plenty of time for audience questions as well, leading the overall panel to continue a lively discussion for more than an hour and a half.
One notable report came from Rich Farrington of AWA, who noted that the upcountry fire protection would be improved upon the completion of a new pipeline project on Buckhorn Ridge Road, which will improve water pressure to fire hydrants in the area.
The Upcountry Community Council meets the second Monday of each month, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the Pioneer Community Veterans Hall, 25100 Buckhorn Ridge Road, in Pioneer. All Upcountry residents are encouraged to attend. More information is available at uccamador.org.
