As a university employee, I am prohibited from consuming cannabis. But I strongly support the local businesses that have sprouted up around Fairbanks. Many of the new businesses are family businesses, with spouses, adult siblings, and parents working together to create new mom 'n pop enterprises. It would be a shame--and a huge economic loss for the community--if the new cannabis businesses were banned from Fairbanks. Please vote no on Prop 1 and Prop A in Fairbanks.
