My point was that just because it's illegal for the seller to sell it, it is not illegal for the purchaser to have it. In other words, the illegality of the transaction for the seller does not taint, and thereby make illegal, the purchase or possession of cannabis by the buyer/recipient; there is no longer such a thing as an illegal source for the recipient. As an aside, I find it amusing that the existence of dispensaries has suddenly made people unable to find pot from another source.
