It's not like there aren't doctors writing questionable prescriptions for Oxycontin.
Unlike alcohol or Oxycontin, marijuana is not physically addictive. I'd love to see documentation on the addiction rates, they certainly don't mirror what I see. When I was in High School (admittedly decades ago), it was easier to get pot than beer. Liquors stores have licenses and a physical presence to maintain, they care ... dealers do not.
Personally, I prefer the liquor store model to the pharmacy one; but I'll take what I can get.
