Medical Cannabis Might Be Regulated By The ABC

The Alcoholic Beverage Control Might Be Regulating Medical Cannabis Soon

There are still many doubts about how cannabis will be regulated in some of the states where it has already been legalized for medicinal and recreational purposes in the US, but many believe that the Alcoholic Beverage Control in California, will soon be taking over the medical cannabis industry and I think this might be a good idea, although there are many people out there who think otherwise.

Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, introduced Assembly Bill 473, which does propose that the Alcoholic Beverage Control takes over all cannabis trade and sales in the State of California and if the Committee on Public Safety, votes in favor of this bill in the next couple of weeks, this might just become a law very soon.

Medical Cannabis Needs To Be Regulated

If you think about it, allowing the Alcoholic Beverage Control to manage cannabis for medicinal purposes might be a very good idea, as they already have vast experience in regulating a substance, which was once prohibited too and they seem to be doing a good job at it.  The ABC has in fact regulated alcohol effectively in most States of the US and there are similar organizations all over the world, which could also begin treating marijuana as they do alcohol and this would surely keep things under control.

While there are many people that believe that the ABC should handle marijuana, there are also some who think that alcohol and medical cannabis should not be in charge of the same office, as there could be some problems with the booze companies, who have been opposing the legalization of marijuana all along.

There are many conflicts of interest here, as it has now been proven by several polls and studies, that states that allow medicinal and recreational cannabis, tend to consume less alcohol and much less pharmaceuticals as well.  This means that the legalization of cannabis would affect the income of some alcoholic beverage companies and this is why they do not want this bill to be accepted any time soon.

Thankfully, there is now more than 50% of American citizens who believe that cannabis should be legalized and who are constantly casting out their votes. If we want to legalize cannabis all around the world, we must all do as much as we can to promote the cause, as every little bit counts.

Medical Cannabis Is Not As Harmful As Alcohol And Other Drugs

Scientific studies are now showing that cannabis is not as harmful as it was once said and that many of the political campaigns of the 80’s and 90’s were simply oppressing this herb for personal benefits of some people and companies. It is time to abolish the prohibition of cannabis, as it is now a known fact that this does not only not work, but it even causes more problems, than it solves.

Yet Another Benefit Of Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Are Helping The Economy

We are now finding out about all the benefits that marijuana can bring to society and it is now a fact that medical marijuana dispensaries are not only a godsend to all those people with some terminally ill diseases, but they are also a great economical benefit to our communities and they are now helping many security firms to increase their profits as well.

Because these types of dispensaries attract two different people to its establishments, it is also common for thieves to get interested in them and this is why security firms are now benefiting from these newly accepted businesses.  According to Dan Williams, who is the founder of Canna Security America, “There is a lot of smash and grab” in this industry, which is why he has created a company that specializes in helping shops that sell cannabis to protect themselves and to prevent any robberies as well.

Not only does the large stash of marijuana attract thieves to dispensaries, but these stores also tend to have lots of cash around, which is certainly why they are being targeted by some criminals. Federal laws, which are still not sympathetic to these types of businesses, have made it hard for dispensaries to handle their currency and this has left them very vulnerable to thieves.  

Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Create Opportunities For Entrepreneurs

The reasons mentioned above, have made it possible for entrepreneurs like Dan Williams to get involved in the medical marijuana dispensaries industry and to actually provide a much needed service to them, as other security firms like ADT, are not offering their services to dispensaries and are leaving them alone to defend themselves.

According to The Huffington Post, “ADT has made a policy decision not to sell security services to businesses engaged in the marijuana industry, because it is still illegal under federal law.” This has certainly cause dispensaries to become vulnerable businesses and this is why other security firms are now taking advantage of this great business opportunity.

Since there are now around 2000 to 4000 businesses that are involved in the production of cannabis, there are also going to be many other business opportunities appearing from this, as the industry is now having sales over a billion dollars per year and it is estimated to keep growing in years to come.

Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Need To Be Kept Safe

Not only should businesses that are involved in the marijuana industry have the right to be protected by security firms, just like any other business in the market does right now, but they should also have the opportunity to have access to certain types of insurance policies and more.

The medical marijuana industry is now here to stay and there is no doubt in my mind that laws will keep improving positively in the next couple of months.  It is time for medical marijuana dispensaries to be allowed all over the world, as they provide a valuable service to people in need and they can also benefit our economies in many ways.
