IF POT IS PRESCRIBED, SELL IT AT PHARMACIES

Regarding "A pot shop mess of the City Council's own making" (Oct. 
19): Why do we need "pot shops"? If it's a pharmaceutical, dispense 
it at the pharmacy like other drugs.

The pharmacies we already have seem to be doing a good job of filling 
prescriptions and only letting people have what is prescribed by 
their doctors. It seems all a pot shop does is put a drug into the 
hands of people not suited for or educated in dispensing pharmaceuticals.

Now we have another group of laws to legalize a business that exists 
and seems to be doing it right.
