Medical marijuana
Re “Vendor’s reefer sadness,” Column One, Dec. 27
Two issues stand out. First, why have local officials not developed zoning standards for medical cannabis dispensaries? Why not locate such dispensaries in malls where there’s adequate parking? Second, why aren’t medical marijuana advocates and elected officials promoting a broader use of Marinol, a form of THC that can legally be prescribed by a physician? Marinol appears to be just as effective in treating some of the same conditions for which medical marijuana users are seeking treatment.
