Cannabis (USA and Canada)
In Arizona, British Columbia, California, Colorado, Maine, Michigan, New Jersey, Ontario, Quebec, and Washington, medical cannabis is sold in specially designated stores called dispensaries or "compassion clubs". Many states with medical marijuana laws do not permit dispensaries to operate due to their highly controversial existence. Despite support among the medical cannabis community they aren't technically legal in either country. Medical cannabis dispensaries are abundant in American states that permit use, however; the DEA continues to raid these dispensaries and the Federal government continues to prosecute individuals operating them. In Canada dispensaries are far less abundant, with the majority being in British Columbia and Ontario. They too are frequently raided by Police as the Canadian government and Health Canada do not legally recognize nor permit their existence.
