Its interesting that you see it that way...actually the law as far as dispensaries go is very gray. When the law changed to read "designated provider" rather than caregiver it gave the legal loop hole for dispensaries. Dispensaries are running on the basis that they are the designated provider for "one patient at a time" and when the transaction closes they then become D.P. for another patient. Even Spokan police admit they don't know that the dispensary was actually breaking the law but want a court to define whether they are or not. This being a pivitol point in WA state law reguarding "dispensaries" A court will have to define "one patient at any one given time" and with the support the public is giving to the dispensaries, it will in all likelyhood rule that it is legal. Not all patients are well enough to grow their own medicne and not all can pay to set up to grow. Dispensaries are needed in order for these patients to obtain their medication rather than buying from the black market. Times are changing, my friend, and we consider ourselves leading the way
