Weed: Coming Soon to Your Local Wal-Mart
Wal-Mart has just been told by the Massachusetts state pharmacy board that it must stock so-called emergency contraceptives at its stores within the state of Massachusetts. This is because the state policy requires pharmacies to carry all "commonly prescribed" medicines. I doubt Massachusetts is the only state with this law on its books.
You know what this means - if you live in a medical marijuana state you'll soon be able to drop by your local Wally Mart for your daily dose of Dope. Ol' Mary Jane is certainly a "commonly prescribed" drug in these states, so it seems a pretty sure thing that marijuana, just like every other new item WalMart chooses to stock, will soon be much more efficiently and economically distributed throughout the country.
Personally, I am not opposed to marijuana legalization, but I don't like where all this is leading to. It seems that companies should be able to decide for themselves whether they stock products that are used for purposes like recreational drug use or the destruction of human life.
