You can get a dr to write a prescription and get all to your heart's content. Unfortunately, in certain areas there is higher crime associated with their existence. This is why I think that it should be regulated to conform to a standard, and further, shd be sold in pharmacies. I honestly think that since it is a medicine, it needs to be treated like one. I actually Do have a prescription for some osteoarthritic/Fibromyalgic issues, as well as PTSD (as I previously mentioned). I am sick and tired of seeing thugs go into the clubs and talk about how they will sell it down the blog and "bag it up". But at the same time, realize that it has shown immense benefit for PTSD sufferers, folks with pain syndromes due to other illnesses, multiple scelerosis patients and in some cases, schizophrenics (usu. CBDS have shown to be of benefit to them). Anyway, good post and thx for exploring these issues. YOu know if the pot market was regulated, it (in principle) would be cheaper than fifty dollars for 3.5 grams!Mahndisa S.
