Here we have another story where a push is being made to limit medical marijuana dispensaries in yet another state. These medical marijuana laws, in the states that have them, were passed largely by the people. The people of these communities recognized that we, as a free society, do not have the right to stand between patients and safe access to their medicine. Bills that seek to limit marijuana dispensaries also limit access to patients who are all too often unable to routinely drive long distances to retrieve their medication.
