dispensaries often sell grams at a time, enclosed in individual bags even.

With or without a card these days, does anyone even care anymore ? dispensaries sell to more than their five patients, why not to more than just carded ones? Do cops stop stealing your money and raiding your home the moment they see a card ? Do courts ever disallow a physician's marijuana testimony or a patients' possession of a state issued card? When a craigslist goof gets caught selling to "carded patients only" does the court let him slide? could it be that the advertiser just says that to thwart CL reading police a little ? Will that seller take it to court and fight for the right to supply another carded patient not registered to him, or take a plea bargain? Are carded people being raided more than non carded people? sentenced longer?

phaq it, what's the fight for anyways?
phaquing ranter :o
