Oceano medical marijuana dispensary rejected

The way I see this issue is that recreational use is trying to be coved by medical use. Indeed there are those that are sick and can benefit form MJ. But the way the laws are, and how collectives and dysenteries sell out MJ, the anti’s are pissed. It was never the intent for recreational use during the beginning of this issue.

There are two issues to solve. 1. Get it straighten out for medical use, real honest medical use. 2. Either vote in recreational use or stop dispensaries and mobile collectives from selling to recreational users. I know it’s not popular but until the issue is hammered out properly, the anti’s will just get more enraged to see users who are not really ill enough to benefit form using it as an honest medication.

Eventually the anti’s will have to realize that humans like their off duty relaxation. Beer, wine, cigarettes and coffee have all been dealt with ad there is not reason that MJ can’t be controlled enough to make all parties somewhat happy.

For now dispensaries are doomed and mobile collectives will be allowed. Many people do not want to see MJ in public but will not care that much if it is behind closed doors..

For God’s sake, even coffee had a bumpy road way back. Here are a few lines from the link;

The first coffeehouse opened in Istanbul in 1554.[13] Coffee was at first not well received. In 1511, it was forbidden for its stimulating effect by conservative, orthodox imams at a theological court in Mecca[citation needed]. However, the popularity of the drink led these bans to be overturned in 1524 by an order of the Ottoman Turkish Sultan Selim I, with Grand Mufti Mehmet Ebussuud el-İmadi issuing a celebrated fatwa allowing the consumption of coffee.[14] In Cairo, Egypt, a similar ban was instituted in 1532, and the coffeehouses and warehouses containing coffee beans were sacked.[15]

Similarly, coffee was banned by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church some time before the 18th century.[16] However, in the second half of the 19th century, Ethiopian attitudes softened towards coffee drinking, and its consumption spread rapidly between 1880 and 1886; according to Richard Pankhurst, “this was largely due to [Emperor] Menilek, who himself drank it, and to Abuna Matewos who did much to dispel the belief of the clergy that it was a Muslim drink.”[17]

The banning of women from coffeehouses was not universal, but does appear to have been common in Europe. In Germany women frequented them, but in England they were banned.[21] Many believed coffee to have several medicinal properties in this period. For example, a 1661 tract entitled “A character of coffee and coffee-houses”, written by one “M.P.”, lists some of these perceived benefits:

Not everyone was in favour of this new commodity, however. For example, the anonymous 1674 “Women’s Petition Against Coffee” declared:

“ …the Excessive Use of that Newfangled, Abominable, Heathenish Liquor called COFFEE […] has […] Eunucht our Husbands, and Crippled our more kind Gallants, that they are become as Impotent, as Age.[3]
