As an aside, I find it amusing that the existence of dispensaries has suddenly made people unable to find pot from another source.
This whole thing is amusing and weird. Perhaps another way to look at this is, at this point, one can legally "possess" (without remuneration) marijuana from anyone over 21. For someone who does not grow their own marijuana may have a little difficulty "purchasing" since the selling part is illegal, although that may not be such a stumbling block given how versatile the marketplace is...anyway, in the meantime, there is some uncertainty and hesitation since most municipalities and counties are in a wait-and-see mode. So, until the Fed makes its stance known, there will probably be many growers making themselves available to the public.
