Friday, April 11, Portland, OR. – A double showing of the documentary film, Dispensing Cannabis: The California Story will be held at the Studio 6 Theater beginning promptly at 7pm and again at 10pm. In this hour-long documentary, voices from inside discuss practices and issues involved in distributing medical cannabis. Of the twelve states in 2006 that permit medical cannabis use, California is the only state that allows for the distribution of the medicine. How and where do people get their medicine? How does one insure that their medicine is clean, safe and is sufficient quality? Tours of five cannabis dispensary models provide an unprecedented look into this quasi-legal business. Doctors, lawyers, law enforcement, patients and caregivers share their perspectives and concerns.
