I don't think that's true in the real world. It's more complicated. First of all, I get that for a certain minority of users, it is very much seen as a "medicine" but for the majority it is tongue in cheek game and the dispensaries use all sorts of medical language but at the same time treating it as some sort of fine wine. Normally pharmacists don't ask "Would you like the OG Azithromycin or the Sour Diesel version?" It is very much a recreational users "drug," whatever you want call it, first and therefore engenders many characteristics of its sales. A normal pharmacist is not going to walk the consumer through all the different kinds of "highs" the "patient" can get from different variations of Vicodin the way a dispensary worker would with canabis. As well, I doubt CVS will start hanging "420" and Bob Marley posters all over the place or provide the kind "canabis experience" that consumers will want, for various, which will continue to be served by the dispensaries. There are many strains that are cultivated for improving recreational experiences, I don't see Walgreens catering to this. So, I think the dispensaries will continue to exist in a significant way, but sure some of their business will be taken away but perhaps because of other effects the market for dispensaries will be expanded. |

Even for those who use "recreationally", there are different goals. Some people use it to sit on the couch and watch netflix. Some use it to clean their bathrooms. Some use it while snowboarding or rock climbing. A lot of people use it to self-medicate anxiety and other issues. And different strains can be better for each of those.
As much as there may be a difference in flavour for wines, they all get you drunk the same way. Not so with cannabis.
