To whom it may concern,
I am currently a patron of Access OC Caregivers. Now it has come to my attention that a decision is to be made
to shut down establishments like the one stated above. I understand how certain decisions must be made and
funds allocated to keep the ball rolling per se, however I wish that the method in which the, more than likely,
decision to be made not be made hastely.
With that, I understand the stigma that is the medical cannabis industry. I also understand that the goal in this
situation is to be fair and keep everyone relatively happy. Access OC Caregivers is just that, an establishment
for those who would like to obtain marijuana for medical purposes.
They have a very clean kempt business with helpful and knowledgeable staff. I've been to a handful of
dispensaries and I've talked to folks about the other places they've been to and we've all shared the same
experiences. Most of these places were run down, playing loud "club" music to the point where I can hardly
think or even hear my server. They were dingy and felt like a gimmic or rather immature if you will.
My point is that Acces OC care givers sets a standard, a professional adult atmosphere where the point of
medical cannabis is to help people not to just sell marijuana and turn a profit. I'm truly aware and accepting of
the decision that is on the table and the very realization of the fact the place that I frequent could be in jeopardy
shocks me.

I honestly thought the places that ought to be shut down would only be the ones that ran the business like it was
a fiat house party. So I plead with you, again I understand some decisions HAVE to be made to keep everyone
happy, but let it be more systematic please.
Please don't shut down the good dispensaries, the ones that are following the rules and being adults about how
they handle their business. By all means interview the folks that run these shops. I don't go anywhere else for
my medicine. It took me so long to find a place with tact and real genuine customer service. Please leave
businesses like Access OC Caregivers to continue to operate and give care to the ones that truly need them.
Thank you for your time.
