Without knowing how many plants are required to maintain control over any particular malady, I was led to believe the story was based on a truly ill person seeking relief from discomfort. Where are the stories surrounding misuse of "medicinal" marijuana? I've probably smoked more pot in my lifetime than most, and am aware of the "scrip" that's necessary to buy smoke from the "dispensary." The hundred dollar "appointment" to get your card truly smacks of BS. Sorry, I don't believe those Marley Ganja posters in the "dispensary" are for the octogenarian glaucoma demo. The 420 t-shirts are for the cancer-suffering patient needing to spur an appetite? Why do I find myself alone in the belief that society (and your government) is in the business of encouraging entire generations to get high on the coattails of the truly sick people this law was intended to help? Don't believe me? Hang out at a pot store. What a sad commentary that these generations of youngsters are growing up just looking for the next opportunity to get high at someone else's expense.
