California greed weed

We may have taken a foot forward, but greed has ripped us back into the arenas with the pharmaceutical companies. Do we take it back to the underground? It is well known the streets are cheaper. Again the problem arises, along with many others, such as; finding medical grade “Medi-juana” in a clean, safe, comfortable environment with kind and knowledgeable people there to assist, and not intimidate a patient with hard sell, high priced, rush in, rush out mentality. They are selling “Greed Weed” in the name of compassion!

Unfortunately California’s Proposition 215 didn’t mention many specifics when it came to ethically obtaining and distributing medicine.

After all, the sick are paying dearly. Prices are ranging from $20 to $30 for one gram, and on upwards to $50 to $100 (on average) for an eighth of an ounce of “Medi-juana”. It’s all about “greed weed.” Money and profits. Most dispensaries are plagued with inner problems and lack people who can actually run a business.

Sounds pretty harsh, though it’s true that a lot of these dispensaries aren’t exactly living up to the ideals envisioned back in 1996 when Proposition 215 was made law. In general it seems nothing but productive to look closely at these models of operation and commend what works and to criticize what doesn’t. After all these medical marijuana dispensaries in California should be shining examples of what is possible for the rest of the country.
