POT ISN'T A MEDICINE

Re: Marijuana for arthritis.

Marijuana is not a recognized medicine by any legitimate medical 
association in any country on the planet.

Dispensing marijuana has no quality control, no standardized 
composition or dosage for specific medical conditions. It has no 
prescribing information nor are there any high-quality scientific 
studies that establish its effectiveness or long-term safety.

No such studies exist and therefore pot dispensaries are just pot 
shops run by underqualified individuals.
