    Pharmacists are not doctors and they can make their own recommendations and compounds and can dispense them legally if a prescription is not required. The problem here is it’s federally scheduled. If it wasn’t, there would be no issue to have pharmacists dispense it.

    Great, you smoke a little bit a month. I rely on it to help control my very painful nerve disorder via pain modification. I’d love a controlled dose dispensed by a pharmacist rather than ‘put a little bit in the vaporizer and hope it’s enough.’
