the feds will eventually shut them down, but they don't act very fast; in northern california, the feds shut down a couple of dispenseries every few months; they tend to go after the bigger & highly profitable operators
the feds don't actually shut them down directly, they force their landlords to evict medicine-dispensing tenants by threatening to confiscate the building ... they also make credit card companies refuse to take their business, so it's all cash-only
after getting evicted from their storefronts, most become delivery-only, but that makes it tough to maintain patient loyalty, because most patients like to visit the clinic and eyeball the swag, check out specials [like hash wednesdays, early-bird free doobs], hit on the hot babes working the counter, fire up a vaporizer, etc.etc.
That's exactly how the Feds get it done over in Sacramento,CA.They weed out the outright profiters.(They charge the same as street value)Where I go they're opening another branch closer to downtown.Thats right,they're expanding! We pay CA.state taxes on all sales* and it varies from each broker as to how much it cost the patients.I get the same stuff at 30-40% off street value.They have a booth at the state fair every year that helps explain the logic of legalization and taxation.It's a valuable resource that we keep in the dark closet with meth and smack and really bad drugs.Damn shame too,alot of returning Vets can benifit from it's properties.
*It's held in a trust for distrabution to the state when they see fit.The interest goe's to several Vet organisations.There's well over 7 figures in there.Most all of the city council does not want MM to go away.They just don't want to see a dispensery next to them.
