Embarc Dispensaries operates over a dozen shops throughout the state and is petitioning Union City to open a new store, but residents are pushing back.

Some residents in Union City are pushing back against a proposed marijuana dispensary site they say will be too close to a residential area. The mayor says the council plans to discuss the dispensary's location at Tuesday night’s meeting."It’s not fitting for that to be here based on what we’ve seen happen at other dispensaries in other areas. Just locate it in a more industrial area," said Delila Flint, of Fremont.

The proposed location used to be an auto shop and sits on an industrial lot, but residents like Michael Garcia say they have concerns about additional traffic and potential crime in a residential area."It was like two groups. They started off at Lemonade, broke in there. Then they went to Flor, crashed in and the police had to come back out. It’s just crazy! We just don’t need anything like this," said Garcia. Garcia says he's helping to gather signatures for a petition.
