Angel Swanson never believed in any drugs, until one of her daughters, who had serious digestive issues and had never weighed more than 100 pounds, came home from college one day and ate a full plate of food. The girl had tried pot laced cookies, which stimulated her appetite. Swanson lost it. She did some research and couldn’t find a reason for her daughter not to use weed. She and her husband opened a medical marijuana dispensary, The Cannabis Emporium, near Tacoma. They now want to sell recreational pot, but hope to continue to serve patients, a challenge, since stores will be barred from trumpeting pot’s therapeutic benefits in Washington. – New York Post
