These people want to operate a truck to bring fresh local meat and veg to a population that can really use fresh meat and veg. . .and they take food stamps so they must have their act in order.Relax a bit. <br /><br />As for selling marijuana—well. . . imagine it's being done on your block and mine with and without a truck.Sanou’s mumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-19591174671997740712010-05-25T17:21:13.991-04:002010-05-25T17:21:13.991-04:00Well, apparently this isn't breaking any law o...Well, apparently this isn't breaking any law or this wouldn't be happening in the first place. <br /><br />And besides the La Marqueta clentele(the folks who live in the surrounding Housing Projects) wouldn't be going to Wild Olive at any rate because its too far out of thier way.Vic Vegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17223286245820221712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-1963807925971874162010-05-25T15:55:27.816-04:002010-05-25T15:55:27.816-04:00Wow.

Think about other local tax paying merchants like the Wild Olive Market 9 blocks away selling competing products. Why should these people be able to circumvent law, operate illegally and get business that might have gone to the risk-taking merchants The Wild Olive Market?<br /><br />You can't emotionalize civic issues or spin rhetoric to justify pure violation of law. Keep in mind others can argue that the community needs the dispensing of medical marijuana for the elderly and the pain afflicted, just like in California. Can I buy a truck and sell medical marijuana at the same location? To help those whose health justifies it? What about raw milk? How about foie gras? Dog & Cat are delicacies in some cultures, and available on the underground in certain communities in NYC, can I pull up to China town or Korea town and sell fresh dog or cat from my truck? <br /><br />Law and Code. There is a reason we are a city of law and code. You can't just pick your chosen law and code to circumvent, and then wrap yourself in a cloak of noble and good intent, and start selling your products to the community from a truck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
