Yeah.. so what would be wrong with a law that says dispensaries must have their medicine tested by a lab for THC content and certified free of pests and mold? What would be wrong with the Division of Weights and measures coming in and checking their scales for honesty, as they do in every other business that sells by weight? All regulation has costs and benefits; we should concentrate on choosing the right regulations rather than refuse to "give them an inch." In my opinion, the right regulations are those that benefit the consumer with more knowledge, protect the consumer from poisons and impurities, and prevent a retailer from misrepresenting his product or lying to his customers.

I think that a law, forcing a dispensary to have it tested, is wrong! However I also think if a dispensary WANTS to do that, they should. If people want that, they would vote with their dollar. By going to that dispensary. If everyone wanted that, all the other dispensaries would be forced through customer pressure to do it. However forcing people to conform to your desires is not right. So forcing me to spend money on a service I don't want is also wrong. (see anti-forced federal health care suit filed last week by 13 states. It's against the 10th constitutional amendment!)

Those same people would also get to pay an extra fee to have that service provided BTW:thumbsup:.
