If people are forced to buy it from the Wall Street controlled government it will be lacking in real medication because Big Pharma knows it's better medicine than 99 percent of the crap they have and it grown with the same toxic chemicals as tobacco by Big Tobacco. Beware what is offered as "legalization". The only legalization worth a hill of beans includes the right to grow.

Fie. I'm still waiting for hemp to be legalized. But then king cotton, lumber and oil will never permit that either.

I believe (and could be very wrong) that since the law in WA and CO was changed to allow recreational use, the need for sham clinics and prescriptions isn't necessary. This change in perception may give the feds a loop hole that will let them levave the store fronts alone since they are not a cover for recreational use. Many of the legal clinics were shams.

Because legal clinics were very popular in California during the DoJ blitz against them. “one thing they will likely pay attention to is popular opinion”
