The only way a teen, or anyone else, could acquire marijuana from a dispensary is to present a recommendation from a medical doctor and valid identification. Just like how pharmacies work. Opening a dispensary here locally would create jobs, create income for the city and provide a legal means for recommendation holders to acquire medicine without driving to another town.
