[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One big factor the ABCA board focused on throughout yesterday’s protest hearing is that the dispensary trying to open across from a school is a medical cannabis dispensary, not one of the gray-market gifting shops. The board seems to think that this fact alone resolves the community’s concerns about crime, loitering, etc. because these medical dispensaries are—according to the board—“well-regulated.” The board seems to think that none of the blight that surrounds the gray-market shops happens near a medical dispensary. However, anyone with eyes can see this is patently wrong. When you have a system that allows anyone to go online and self-certify as needing medical cannabis, the “medical” distinction ceases to lose any meaning and the impact on the community is the same as with the gifting shops.[/quote]

1.  There is no such thing as a “medical” dispensary.  Marijuana has not been approved for use by the FDA.

2.  Even if this were a legitimate “medical” situation the point would be mute because you can self certify your way into a marijuana card.   No doctor needed at all.  [/quote]
