State Rejects Proposal For Drive-Thru Medical Pot Dispensary

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Medical marijuana patients in Albuquerque will not be cruising through to get their prescriptions as the state has rejected a proposal for a drive-thru dispensary. The Albuquerque Journal reports (http://bit.ly/2aOLK8B ) that pot producer Organtica had planned to open a drive-thru this year to help serve post-traumatic stress disorder patients, who often say they are uncomfortable with crowds in retail stores. The state Department of Health, however, ruled on Wednesday that a drive-thru would not be feasible due to safety concerns. Spokesman David Morgan says the department has not approved any requests for drive-up windows.
