Just read in the Oregonian that Portland's second marijuana site has opened, where people can smoke openly. Having just returned from a class at a dispensary in California, I think it would offer insight to compare the models that we use here to the way in which medical marijuana is "dispensed" there, as smoking is not the preferred route of delivery. The dispensary sells vaporizers, tinctures, edibles and topical medications, which are sealed and transported by the patient to their own home. There is a very professional atmosphere and obvious concern for each patient; none of the "nod, nod, wink, wink" attitude that so many seem to have in Oregon. The only thing lacking in the California model is the participation of medical professionals on site to assess patients for their conditions and appropriate treatments, which we do seem to have in Oregon, although marijuana is not "dispensed at these Oregon sites, as far as I know. These "clubs", such as those which have just opened, seem to be a relatively unsophisticated approach to a real need. I would be interested in other's thoughts on these opening doors. Loved the chicken show!!
