To the Editor:

John Hailperin, president of the Beach Haven Taxpayers’ Association, has lent his and his organization’s name to two recent letters: “Cannabis Ban Backed” (7/21) and “Form of Representation” (8/18). His first letter takes a negative view on cannabis retail businesses in Beach Haven, saying we would need “additional officers and vehicles” and “resources of our first aid squad” if a cannabis dispensary was allowed. This is a modern form of reefer madness.
