Grogan voiced his objection to Resolution No. 87-46-R by stating that he has been a user of marijuana for over twenty years although he does not use it now. He gave a history of legislation regarding marijuana which has been illegal on the federal level since 1937. He felt the federal law was wrong and current state law was right. Alcohol and tobacco have been proven to be far more dangerous, he stated. Mr. Grogan went on to refute each point of the resolution and urged the assembly to defeat the resolution. Jim Cobis, member of Women's Bay Community Council, thanked and applauded Monte Howell and his crew for work done in Panamarioff Park.
