    MMJ is an absolute fucking mess. It’s great that we can begin to get past the human rights abuses of the war on drugs, but there’s so much work to be done to make it a safe and effective medicine. So much research is lacking. So much documentation is lacking. So much credentialing lacking. CBD potency is plummeting and it’s painful. Dispensaries are run by young kids that just think its fun, and they keep recommending me strains that are fucking hell on my anxiety. Give me a damn pharmacist!

      Think this problem stems from it being only medical in most places. I have a script in Florida but it’s in no way a medical need like it is for your anxiety. So you have this large mix of people just looking to get high legally and also those there for legit pain/anxiety medication.

      We need to separate these and give doctors more power to do what’s right.
