Three More Marijuana Licenses Approved by Anchorage Assembly

At Tuesday’s Anchorage Assembly meeting, just two people spoke out against a midtown marijuana business that a Campbell Elementary School employee protested in a school message to parents on Monday.

The employee, who has not be identified, sent out an audio message to all parents at the school, urging them to attend the meeting and oppose the business, Raspberry Roots. The Anchorage School District said the message was not approved by the principal of the school, and was not an appropriate use of school resources.

Candy Bracken, who lives in the Campbell neighborhood, attended the meeting and told the Assembly she was not for or against the business, just its location at 501 Raspberry Road.

“This is a walking zone for the children of Campbell Elementary,” she said at the meeting. “The crime in this neighborhood has been rising significantly over the last several months. I’m not saying the marijuana business will bring in more crime, but it’s another addition to the possibility in this neighborhood of families.” [Read more at KTVA Alaska]
