The dispensary "bandwagon" started out of need.... The need for people to have safe access to medical grade cannabis.... Not everyone can grow their own.... Some people wouldn't even know how to get a hold of med grade cannabis if dispensaries/distributers weren't around.... And since the only price guidelines that anyone had experienced from bomb ass indoor were the illegal street market prices, the dispensaries figured that because now they are operating in a legal manner (having to pay taxes and other overhead costs) they could justify asking the same price....

So had people only grown their own and dispensaries never existed, we'd have individual growers posting ads to supply other patients who cannot grow theirs....

This Drug War is a huge sham.... Just like speeding tickets or seat belt laws....they claim to be in place to protect us, for our safety, when in reality all it does is justify a traffic stop and traffic fine.... They pull you over and make you pay a fine because you might get into an accident or cause one and be injured....no no no their American citizen.... You can't ride in your car without a seatbelt.... Cause if you do, you MIGHT get hurt.... And since we don't want that, we are going to pull over every single car that has a passenger in it riding without a seatbelt fastened....and fine you.... Because we care about your safety....

Excuse me while I go toke a bowl to calm down....:jointsmile:....
