JOINT SUPPORT

AS MANY OF OUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS, FELLOW BUSINESS OWNERS AND LOCAL RESIDENTS ARE NOW AWARE WE NEED YOUR HELP! FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW WE ARE FACING A PRECEDENT SETTING JUDGMENT IN FRONT OF THE Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. WE DO SUPPORT THE MEDICINAL USE OF MARIJUANA TO ALLEVIATE THE PAIN AND SUFFERING OF THOSE THAT HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO INGEST AND OR SMOKE THIS GOVERNMENT ENDORSED RELIEF. WE DO HOWEVER FEEL WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO STOP THIS PRODUCT FROM BEING SMOKED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE ENTRANCE TO OUR ESTABLISHMENT. THIS CASE EVOLVEd AROUND THE RIGHTS OF AN INDIVIDUAL THAT REPEATEDLY STOOD WITHIN FEET OF OUR ONLY ENTRANCE SMOKING MARIJUANA. AFTER BEING ASKED MANY TIMES THAT HE REFRAIN FROM CLOUDING OUR ENTRANCE WITH THE PUNGENT AROMA AND TO SMOKE ELSEWHERE HE REFUSED TO STOP AS THIS IN HIS EYES HAD INFRINGED ON HIS RIGHTS AS A LEGAL USER. WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO ASK THE INDIVIDUAL TO NOT RETURN TO OUR ESTABLISHMENT

AS THIS CASE SEEMS TO BE STEAMROLLING TO A PRECEDENT SETTING RULING IN OUR PROVINCE/COUNTRY WE NOW FIND OURSELVES WITH RAPIDLY MOUNTING LEGAL COSTS. TO DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF NOT ONLY OUR REPUTATION AS A FAMILY RESTAURANT WITH THE CONCERNS OF ALL OUR PATRONS HEALTH AND WELL BEING AT HEART WE FELT WE HAD NO CHOICE AND MADE THE RIGHT DECISION. RANDOM DRUG TESTING FOR PROFESSIONAL INDIVIDUALS THAT FREQUENT OUR ESTABLISHMENT ARE A REAL FACT OF LIFE FOR THEM. THE RESIDUAL SECOND HAND INGESTION OF MARIJUANA CLOUDING OUR ENTRANCE COULD POTENTIALLY COST THEM Their JOBS. THE MERE SMELL OF MARIJUANA LINGERING AROUND OUR ENTRANCE HAS A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE REPUTATION WE HAVE LABOURED FOR 20 PLUS YEARS TO BUILD. WE FURTHER FEEL THAT WITH NO REAL GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE WE ARE BEING FORCED TO DEFEND OURSELVES INTO THE UNKNOWN AT A HUGE FINANCIAL COST.

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL OR PROVINCIAL MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT TO VOICE YOUR OPINION. YOU CAN ALSO SEND YOUR THOUGHTS DIRECTLY TO US BY EMAIL JOINTSUPPORT@GATORTEDS.COM

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR SUPPORT
