All one has to do to see how these prescriptions are being abused is take a stroll down the Venice boardwalk and try to avoid the barkers outside the numerous pot shops hawking "free consultations." And from what I've seen on the literature they shove into your hands, prescriptions can be had for such simple maladies as headaches and sleeplessness. The city was right in not making the same mistake that the state of California did in allowing these places to exist. Stephen Crome Laguna Beach - --- MAP posted-by: Keith Brilhart
