US: Washington Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Refuse To Close Joe Klare 420 Times Friday 08 Apr 2011 Voters approved medical marijuana use in Washington in 1998, and in 2008 lawmakers approved a law allowing patients a 60 day supply of no more than 24 ounces and no more than 15 plants. But the law doesn’t specifically allow for medical marijuana sales. 420times 000015379989XSmall 300x285 Washington Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Refuse To CloseDespite that, about 40 dispensaries have opened up in Spokane County in the last few years serving thousands of patients. One of those dispensaries is the THC Pharmacy owned by a man named Charles Wright. "When it comes down to it creates a climate of fear that is ridiculous," said Wright. "My phone has been ringing off the hook all day, little old ladies crying and screaming. I've got people in wheel chair who are freaking out. These people can’t go out on the street and get drugs," he said. But the federal government could care less. If a 68 year-old woman with MS in a wheelchair has to go out on the streets and buy her medical cannabis from a gang-banger in the ghetto, what’s it to the feds? It's not their problem. And you would think the federal government would have better things to do. I read somewhere that we are in an incredible amount of debt, and the entire federal government is about to come to a screeching halt. Yet they can find time to close dispensaries in Washington state. Kudos to these dispensaries for fighting back and standing up for patients. Someone has to, and compassion is not going to come from the federal government. http://the420times.com/2011/04/washington-medical-marijuana-dispensaries-refuse-to-close/
