We have asked the same question several times over the past few years, “how do you primarily acquire your medical marijuana?”
The answer remains consistent, 63% use a dispensary as their primary method. Oddly the same percentage of Michigan voters that approved the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act in 2008.
Dispensaries have the advantage of being the most convenient and efficient distribution model in the State of Michigan, and what most voters envisioned. Will other methods soon be eliminated?
Recent legislative fixes to the act and Supreme court rulings points to the elimination of the individual caregiver and patient-to-patient model in the State.
What do you think the future of distribution of medical marijuana will or should look like?
Would be nice to have the most ways to get it and at different prices but sure that dispinseries are here to stay. As long as I can always get it and their is competition.
Only should be sold at a dispensary or a pharmacy in my opinion not at an unorganized fair of pot. Soon it will be behind a counter where it belongs and not lifetime cards.
NO!
Regulate and tax it and sell in stores.
