PROBLEMATIC MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARY SETUP CREATES MONOPLIES
I'm writing about "Group pushing for broader medical marijuana laws"
( Tribune, Sept. 15 ).
If the marijuana legalization initiative calls for marijuana to be
legally available to adults at hundreds of locations like tobacco and
alcohol is, I will vote for and support it. If, on the other hand,
legal marijuana will only be available at a very few monopolist
locations like medical marijuana is today, I will oppose it and vote
against it.
I jumped through all the hoops and paid $150 protection money to the
state of Arizona to obtain my medical marijuana card. Now I have the
so-called privilege of paying $400 an ounce for marijuana that is
available on the black market for around $70 an ounce.
