AREA'S MEDICAL POT DISPENSARIES OPERATE LIKE HEALTH CARE CENTERS

"If you don't like medical marijuana ...  then you aren't going to like the future," reads the slogan on a T-shirt for sale at The Healing Center, a medical marijuana outlet in downtown Olympia that welcomed a steady stream of customers on a rainy afternoon in January.

John Dimler, an elderly man who walked in using a cane, said he smokes marijuana to help with the pain from his encephalomyelitis, a virus that put him in the hospital for 45 days in 2001.

"I'm in pain 24 hours a day, seven days a week," Dimler said.
