Federal drug officials are warning Georgia to shelve its plans to be the first state to allow pharmacies to dispense medical marijuana products.

News outlets report that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration on Nov. 27 warned pharmacies that dispensing medical marijuana violates federal law.

    Yeah… we wouldn’t want pharmacies to dispense something that- *checks notes*- has multiple medical benifits.

      Wouldn’t a pharmacy dispensing this interfere with companies who entire purpose is to do this? I remember reading an article that stated a massive amount of issues with this exact situation.

      Not everything with medical benefits can be found in a pharmacy. For example, gamma ray emitters have medical benefits.

      Even if we only consider substances, there are plenty of beneficial drugs that are never found in pharmacies, like propofol.
