US CA: LTE: Marijuana Dispensaries

North County Times, 02 Aug 2012 – Please, someone explain to me why it is necessary to establish dispensaries for marijuana? If it is such a "wonder drug" and it is said to be a cure-all for many ills and also needs a prescription from a doctor, we already have those dispensaries. They are called pharmacies. Anything else leaves too many chances for abuse and criminal activity, and we need no more of that. William Schlitz
