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. Bill Colford San Diego - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
