Nowhere does the Constitution empower the Federal government to have anything to do with regulating drugs, any more than it empowered the Federal government, before the 18th Amendment, to have anything to do with regulating alcoholic beverages. The only power the Federal government now has over alcoholic beverages is to levy excise taxes on them.

If I needed marijuana for medical purposes I would definitely need a dispensary since I don't like smoking anything and would need the marijuana as an extract. Also I would need the correct dosage. So, yeah, I can see where a dispensary would be necessary.

I agree with Dr. Bogus that it's a state's rights issue. I never said I was against medical MJ. In fact, once I retire and am no longer required to have a CDL, I will get prescribed medical MJ for my neck arthritis that gives me horrible headaches.

In PJ's case, I stand corrected. I didn't realize the dispensaries were selling things like extracts and that does make sense. Although, a workaround could be someone charging a fee to teach and/or extract the THC from the card holders own crop.

All that being said, MJ prohibition is stupid.
