Federal drug officials are warning Georgia to shelve its plans to be the first state to allow pharmacies to dispense medical marijuana products.
News outlets report that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration on Nov. 27 warned pharmacies that dispensing medical marijuana violates federal law.
Fine, who would want Walgreens, Walmart and CVS to be where you get your weed? I would rather buy it at independent stores both for atmosphere and that large pharmacies are shitty companies in every way possible.
Because it’s a prescription medication, just like any other. It’s far more convenient to pick up prescription just like you do any other.
There will be far fewer dispensaries than pharmacies, so less choice, more driving, and worse hours.

Until it is seriously studied with results compared to alternatives (not always a placebo) it isn’t medicine doesn’t belong in a pharmacy. That applies to marijuana just as much as homeopathy (which also doesn’t belong in a pharmacy but is there)
Yes I know studies are hard and expensive. I’m also aware of all the other problems of getting FDA approval for products that are not patentable. Those are issues worth fixing and we can debate sometime what a good fix might be. However the process still exists for good reason, calling anything medicine that doesn’t follow the process is a lie.
Many of these places still sell cigarettes. CVS only stopped in the past 5 years… Not all things in pharmacies are medicine or any good for you.
