HUMBOLDT HALLOWEEN CANDY

I would like to know what is up with all the young adults who are
lining up to buy medical marijuana with their prescriptions (which are
being handed out like candy on Halloween)? The farmers are
force-growing their crop to keep up with the demand. As a result, it
is quite obvious that the strength of the medicine has decreased
significantly.

Still, I have seen so many college-age clients, driving up or riding
their bikes to the line. Personally, I think that a lot of the clients
look healthy and very young -- they just don't look sick as they laugh
and talk about how cool this is.

I believe that everyone realizes that prescriptions for pot are very
easy to get, and that (due to high demands) the potency has decreased,
but still it goes on, growing larger. How much longer can this go on?
