I don't have any interest at all in regulating non-commercial sales between caregivers and their patients, but businesses open to the public should have to comply with the rules and standards of their community, from the city fire code to the 14th Amendment as other businesses do.
Free market would eliminate all this, probably faster than the government could/would. Would you buy wilted moldy lettuce when you can go down the street and but fresh lettuce?
This is the EXACT problem with the United States today. People like you feel the average citizen can't make decisions anymore and we need the government to regulate. Do a little research and find out how the founders of our country feel about this. It's sickening how readily people like you will give up freedom for safety, and your numbers are growing thanks to the BS they feed us in schools now.
I would be willing to bet you are all for this global warming fiasco too, aren't you? Readily awaiting your carbon tax when in reality it's the sun spots causing the temperatures to fluctuate (normal solar activity). They are using you! If you need some links I can supply plenty of information from the founder of The Weather Channel.
Whoever said sheeple is 100% correct. You believe everything the media feeds you. Time to wake up, start thinking for yourself and stop giving away our God given freedoms.
