Here's a simple, easy way. Doctors make recommendations, a three doctor panel not paid by the applicants authenticates the recommendations, and patient run cooperatives supply the medicine for what it costs to produce and sell, including employee salaries, rent, and insurance.

Quote:
If you're so concerned about the patients getting it, then dispensaries are a good way to get it done, and the operator's of the dispensaries are providing a valuable service to these patients.
It's a "way", not a "good way". If you were dying of thirst in the desert and someone offered to sell you a quart of water for $1,000, would that be a "good way" of getting you what you need?

Quote:
There are going to be abuses with any system, but why pass a law like this and then try and figure out how the hell the patients are going to get their herb?
The law does provide methods to acquire medicine. You can grow it yourself or you can appoint a designated caregiver to grow it for you. The caregiver can be a co-op or other non-profit organization.

Quote:
If we're going to legalize it then we should write into the law how they are supposed to get it.
They did.

Quote:
They pass a law saying that patients in need can use it, but hey, you can't buy it.
They didn't. You can pay your caregiver a reasonable amount for producing the medicine and getting it to you. It just can't be a for-profit business.

Quote:
We seem to think it's easy to get herb and it's not.
How hard is it to get when you can grow it legally? Legitimate caregivers can legally grow a certain number of plants for each client who has assigned them that role.

Quote:
These dispensaries are a good way to get the "medicine" to the patients.
Again, they're a "way", not a "good way", any more than a $1,000 bottle of water is a "good way" to quench your thirst.
