That's the kind of mm dispensary we need around here. Unfortunately, even if they tried it, the cops and feds would probly shut it down, arrest the people running it, and confiscate all the pot.
All this would happen and hungry people might never see the food because it was involved with an illegal operation.
That's a shame Nz, my location just passed laws allowing medical pot. This was a rare little nugget of bright news to find - people enjoy free buzzes, the hungry get to eat and the dispensary gets more well known and a favorable reputation.
But you can't have win/win/win situations like this if there's a cop anywhere in your general vicinity.
