    I agree with Max in that I would like to know how libraries are
    planning to serve, and bring into the library, this budding (sorry,
    couldn't help it) new demographic. As a public librarian, I am
    really not interested in banning or prohibiting use of the library
    or drugs. If I was interested, I would have chosen another
    profession.<br>
    <br>
    For instance, we finally got a medical marijuana book in our
    Reference section. Now, I would like to know of more general
    Reference materials to bring into the library for both recreational
    users and those concerned about marijuana and its usage. Or, what
    kind of programs, especially educational, are folks planning around
    this new law. I believe Max is presenting something at OLA but is
    anybody planning events for their actual library.<br>
    <br>
    In my experience, most behavioral issues I have to address in the
    library revolve around alcohol use and/or mental issues unrelated to
    drugs. The folks who stink like weed tend to be pretty nice. Maybe
    this law will be good for us.<br>
    <br>
    I guess what I'm saying is if we have to talk about pot in this
    forum, shouldn't the discussion be centered around what we will do
    for these users? I'm not really interested in discriminating against
    library users and I really don't care what drugs they use. I would
    rather not know and prefer to remain neutral.<br>
    <br>
    I also agree with Buzzy in that I do not understand why marijuana is
    being singled out as an issue for libraries. I think we should leave
    that to the police who I doubt are very concerned about it these
    days.<br>

    Best regards,<br>
