WSJ story on pot store boom across Montana, of all places, replete with an uptick in violence surrounding the stores (fire bombs tossed in windows). One town saw a rise in ER patients using.
DC and 15 states have passed med marijuana bills, but the cities have been left to deal with them, leading to a lot of confusion.
Montana cop on new pot store: "Before the doors even open, the parking lot has 300 kids throwing Frisbees and playing Hacky-Sack."
Been there and done that.
There are people who really need and absolutely benefit, and then there's the groundswell anticipating decriminalization.
This will not go smoothly, but it is coming.

Have to ask, again, why not pharmacies, just like any other prescription medicine?
Anyone out there with a real answer?
