its a mixture of reefer madness, mixed with greed, and of course corruption How on earth can LaoKhao be legal and can be bought in quantities (1 bottle) which can be lethal either in the long or very short term, yet a small amount of cannabis can theoretically at least, land one in prison.
Absolute madness, all they needed was to restrict public smoking it would then exist pretty much under the radar with few complaints. I hope they don't start random pi$$ tests for it, Would be a bit grim to be prosecuted for smoking a spliff a month ago.
As for the prescription protocol, why on earth does a "Dr" need to be present ? in case of a user suffering a whitey? That won't happen as people can't smoke in the shops anymore, just another stupid regulation , probably rolled out to placate some anonymous official whilst giving the so called "DR" a steady income . I doubt many real Dr's will be up for sitting in a weed shop all day waiting for a customer, or even enrolling for whatever training is required to do that
What a mess
