Even with no pun intended it is difficult to ignore the thriving business environment all around the production and sale of medicinal marijuana. With MMJ now legalized in 15 states and also the District of Columbia, the market is expanding vigorously.
Treating a number of Ailments
THC, the active component in marijuana has been shown to effectively treat numerous conditions. It can reduce nausea, insomnia, neurogenic pain and movement disorders and also the symptoms of glaucoma. It might be beneficial in controlling the the signs of irritable bowel syndrome, migraines and fibromyalgia. Recent reports have established that THC prevents the development of deposits of plaques related to Alzheimer's.
Of course more scientific studies are essential in determining which conditions medicinal marijuana might help, but even this short list is encouraging.
Not only Smoking
Medical marijuana opponents object strongly towards the most common approach to ingestion: smoking. However, there are lots of safer ways to ingest marijuana. Marijuana could be inhaled inside a vaporized form and added to food after being processed into hemp oil. Each method bypass the hazards involved with any kind of smoking.
Who are able to Fill it up?
One of the challenges of having medical marijuana is determining who is permitted to fill it up, and how much they can grow. America which have legalized marijuana for medical use have implemented standards for whether and how much marijuana a person is allowed to grow or possess. Things are a little more complicated for dispensaries.
California allows patients and caregivers to form cooperatives to grow the plants, but a lot of the product which reaches the market is grown on small "farms" which still operate outside the law.
Recently a sizable store specializing in information and supplies opened in Sacramento, CA. The store doesn't sell any marijuana, nor any plants. There are some plants displayed but they're of licensed individuals and will also be removed before they bud.
Licensed Dispensaries
Opening a medical marijuana dispensary involves a bit of work. In each of the states where the sale of medical marijuana is legalized what's needed really are a bit different. Businesses must apply for a license and supply proof the storefront is either owned by the business or that the leaser has approved the business. Some states need a safety plan to be drawn up, or request tax documents and so on.
One of the biggest challenges facing these legal businesses is obtaining the full range of business services, for example merchant accounts for processing credit card sales or bank accounts, since marijuana is just legal on the state level, away from the federal level.
Probably the strongest argument the government will respond to may be the potential tax base that medicinal marijuana will generate. In tough economic times it's hard to turn away any source of much needed income.
