Weed on wheels is sign of acceptance

SAN JOSE, Calif. – — David Goldman has a chronic headache, but help is on the way. A driver arrives at his apartment, checks Goldman’s ID card, then hands over a small bag of marijuana.
“It’s really nice to have the convenience of delivery,” said Goldman, a retired teacher who orders medicinal marijuana about once a week from The Green Cross, a medical marijuana delivery service. “I trust their product, and their prices are competitive.”
As Californians consider legalizing marijuana, The Green Cross in San Francisco is a signal of just how mainstream pot has become. In some ways, the medical marijuana dispensary is just like any other retail business: It takes credit cards, it’s reviewed on Yelp and it promises delivery within an hour — there’s even a $10 discount if the pot is late.
Since 1996, when California voters passed Proposition 215, medical marijuana has moved steadily toward mainstream acceptance.
Thirteen states, including Maine, Michigan, Montana and New Mexico, have passed laws allowing seriously ill patients access to it.
