First they came for 14 dispensaries...

I do have an issue with medical marijuana dispensaries advertising to people the way they do. Instead of "If you need medical marijuana, we are a licensed supplier", it's all "HEY BRAH WANNA TOKE? GET YER MM CARD DRAWN UP AND COME ON IN CAUSE WE GOT THAT DANK-ASS SHIT".
Until marichawanna is legalized fully, dispensaries should stick to their proper role of easing the discomfort of people with painful conditions. Advertising to the masses will and should provoke a police response; liquor companies got in trouble for making and selling flavored alcoholic beverages clearly aimed at teenagers. If you're only allowed to sell to certain people, don't advertise to other groups, seriously.

yeah i've wondered the same thing. the ads that really seem like a HUGE tell are the ones with the pretty, buxom, sexily clad "nurses." Especially when they are half naked and practically fucking a bong. those dispensaries are clearly advertising to your everyday male stoner. (btw, aren't there more female stoners out there than these ads suggest?)
anyways, you'd think that the "dispensaries" would be a little worried about so plainly advertising to the general public.

hey, 3 &4, read 2 and STFU. clearly 3 & 4 are elderly, but old people get high too.

i wish i had a horrible chronic pain so i could get high legally.

#6 "don't pretend to be a patient and then have non-patients coming to your dispensaries."

so you're suggesting that only patients should operate dispensaries? how does THAT make any sense? and what exactly about my comment was "marginalizing"?

Last gasp of the control freaks. These antiquated laws will soon be a joke of the past. Go Nature!

@5: Yeah, there's nothing old straight guys hate more than busty young women in skimpy nurses' togs.

drug war = police state

Word on the street is that there'll be another round of busts on Wednesday.

@5: I'm 19, and I'm fine with marijuana being legalized. (Ideally, marijuana would be legal, but tightly controlled, and using it in public would bear the same stigma as smoking.)
Until it is legalized for all adults, though, there are rules that need to be followed.
Marijuana is legal for those who have a demonstrated medical condition which it may palliate. You're not going to get much sympathy from otherwise supportive non-stoners like myself if you try to use that as a cover for blatant pot-dealing.

#3 and #4 for the win!!

@5
well, you might be a little bit closer on your guess with me. i'm a 38 yo woman. so yeah, i'm a total old geezer.
i'm also fine with pot being legalized. but reality is reality - it's banned by the feds (which is stupid, i think that it's actually quite absurd that is is illegal). but those ads make the "medical marijuana" thing look like a complete canard, and they must make things more difficult for people who are in genuine pain to get their medication.
just trying to point out that the dispensaries might want to rethink the sexy nurse advertising scheme. it just probably causes trouble for themselves.
i know the banning of marijuana use sucks and is lame. but if folks are going to go the medical marijuana route, it just seems like a good idea to try and stick to their purported goals a little more closely or they're gonna get the attention of the cops/feds.

just think about it: why on earth use sexy (presumably straight) nurses or show (presumably straight) women practically giving a bong a blow job to advertise to sick people who must come in all genders, sexual orientations and ages? aren't there sick lesbians? sick gay dudes? sick straight ladies?
and, last time i looked, most other ads for painkillers (aspirin, tylenol,heavier prescription drugs) just show smiling happy people living a normal life. seems like that would be the more obvious choice for an ad campaign.

a lot of these dispensaries clearly think that their main customers are straight, healthy dudes.

Makes you think of how much tax money was spent and how much tax money could have been collected instead, if they'd just legalize it and tax it like tobacco.

I'm looking forward to the Kirkland branded MJ they'll sell at Costco - in 10 pound bags .... for "personal" use ...

oh, and maybe the "nurses" in @3 and @4 have back pain from their implants?

Mmmmmmmmm..... Costco Marijuana!

Better get the Flatbed, Honey -- looks like it's gonna be long-ass week....

Whatchya say, Mr. Senegal?

Mmmmmm... Profits!

Go ahead, Mr. President Obama -- Legalize it!

Not that Big Fucking Pharma, Big Fucking Booze, the Great Big Fucking Moralizer/Hypocrisy Industry, The Prison/Rehab Industries AND the Marijuana Industrial Complex could give a shit.

Nah, do NOT tax it and put it on the shelves where teens will have a little tougher time getting it.

Keep on keeping it 'Underground' -- where you have it Under Control.

WHEN are these peple finally going to become Extinct? (Cept for The South. Duh.)
