"Holland allowed dispensaries for all adults thirty years ago. Works well to this day, of course."
Holland legalized medical marijuana 8 years ago. Because it is freely available in "coffeeshops", doctors only prescribe it to people who actually need it. A very different situation than California. The number of coffeeshops is ever decreasing in Holland due to more and more restrictions so I don't know if that can be regarded as "working well".
Many of the proponents of medical marijuana couldn't care less about it being used to alleviate pain. They just want to get high and don't care if their attitude leads to opposition to the bill, and possible defeat.
