Speaking as one who lives in a place with this edict...I'd hate to think about the levels of mental breakdown that would occur if the dispensaries weren't staying open. In absence of any real mental health system in this city cannabis is probably the only thing keeping some would be head cases from going feral.
Because the dispensary provides the medication that best relieves the excruciating "phantom pain" in an amputated appendage, best relieves the dizziness and and loss of balance I've lived with since a cancer diagnosis. If there is any "high" with my medication, I haven't noticed it. That's what I like so much about it. Unlike narcotic medications, it decreases my symptoms without without distressing side effects like making me goofy.
I have a republican friend who finds it helpful to regulate her anxiety and mood swings. Closing down the pot dispensaries would mean she will get it from other places and we as a society want to keep money out of the hands of criminals.
