Let Us Entertain You...with...An Anthem Opinions Editorial

With all the discussion about the proposed marijuana dispensary being planned at the corner of Sun City Anthem Parkway and Eastern Avenue....and the Henderson City Council voting on the matter this coming week, we feel it necessary to "support" this venture for various reasons.
 
Accordingly...we proudly present our argument ...to assist them in this decision which affects the Sun City Anthem Community.
 
Medical Marijuana

Just What the Doctor Ordered
 

What an ingenious idea to bring such a "valuable" entity within the boundaries of our fair community...
 
...and...we think it's great ...for many reasons not yet brought forth by those who support it.
 
Yes, we've heard all the arguments to "ease pain", but there are others we'd like to mention.  
 
And..so...let's name a few reasons why it's yet another community "amenity" that all of us could appreciate.
 
We're convinced it's going to be highly regulated by requiring a doctor's prescription ... just like the handicapped signs that you place in your car window !
 
So... who would ever question that effective method of policing its misuse ???
 
Tired of dealing with ancient drivers...you know, the ones who drive either too fast or too slow, never use turn signals...but find it necessary to buy SUVs the size of a house ?
 
 
The answer ?
 


 
 
Legally...as long as your doctor gives his blessing on a prescription pad.
 
Looking for a new activity to join?
 
How about the Arts & Crafts Club doing a seminar dedicated to " Learning How to Roll Joints" properly?
 
Our guess is that the "dispensary" would be more than willing to send representatives in order to  promote community goodwill in instructing residents in the art of creating the "perfect doobie" !
 
 
How about something for our Pet Club and other pet owners? 
 
Fido a bit "barky" and "hyper"?  
 
Why not calm him down with a special way of "blowing" him a kiss?
 
 
Charlie Brown kept this secret about Snoopy for years !
 
 
And it's works for kitty as well !
 
Add it to your cat's daily diet. 
 
Before you know it, she'll be loving you even more when staring at you with those big eyes ! 
 
I can see her looking at you right now....those glassy eyes saying to you....
 
 
Of course, we can't help but believe that this would also enhance our community "assisted" restaurant toward financial independence.
 
Our suggestion...a New Sign in front of Anthem Center....
 
 
And this new local marijuana dispensary could bring them additional revenue with proper endorsements too ! 
 
Being a private entity...they would be allowed to advertise in our always up-to-date community magazine....The Spirit ... or ...
 
...possibly the "fun-filled" privately owned glossy publication we get each and every month in our mail boxes...free of charge...operated by the husband of a board member... who is always voting to spend resident funds in order that she may enjoy lunch at her favorite eatery at others expense.
 
Picture this ad on their covers !
 
 
After all, a good case of "munchies" needs proper attention in a sophisticated community...and what better way of curing that need than a dedicated restaurant  providing carry-out that would cater to all "high" society shut-ins claiming to be in pain?
 

And why stop at financing a restaurant by reducing its rent on a monthly basis ? 
 
How about our community becoming a partner in this venture ? 
 
We spend so much, getting so little in return from that place...maybe there's some "bong", ah "bang", in this venture after all ?
 
We could provide "homey" smoke filled "weed wagons"  from the dispensary directly to the restaurant to satisfy those munchies.

Think of the success that would result with a well thought out advertising campaign !  
 


 
 
The possibilities are endless in a partnership involving Sun City Anthem, the restaurant, and marijuana dispensary.
 
While the "marijuana dispensary" might consider a weekly special....
 
"Buy One Toke...Get One Free"...
 
...the restaurant could join forces with ....
 
"Weed Wednesday" offering "Doobie Day Discounts" !
 
And last but not least, this new marijuana dispensary could assist senior educational efforts...
 
...that's right..."awareness of existence" and the "true meaning of life" ....
 
...to all former baby boomers in need of the perfect "blend" of "medication


How may you ask?
 
In between arguing political preferences,  following a membership tour of the "dispensary", the aged gurus of The Current Events Club could discuss the meaning of Donovan's...
 
"Mellow Yellow"
 
 
or Bob Dylan's...
 
"Like a Rolling Stone"
 
 
or my two favorites...The Beatles...
 
"I Am the Walrus"
 
 
or discussing if ... 
 
"Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds"
 
 
...was about a girl !
 
So that about does it....we want this new business at its earliest opportunity....
 
After all...
 
 

For those of you who have not yet realized it by the "tone" of this editorial.....
 
We strongly OPPOSE this blight being located in our community !

  1. Looks like a number of Sun City Anthem and Seven HIlls residents have "made a difference".

    The owner of "Jenny's (mariquana) Dispensary" has withdrawn his application to base his business at Sun City Anthem Parkway and Eastern Avenue.

    ..thank goodness !
