The Doctor Will Now See You

Keith Lambert, co-owner of the OM of Medicine medical marijuana dispensary at 112 S. Main St. in downtown Ann Arbor, gave me a tour of his business today. As you can see, the place is nicely decorated. "We have patients and we have caregivers come in here," he said. "We give them a safe place where they can get together and we can basically, for lack of a better term, kind of exchange meds and things along those lines. We have voter initiative projects. We have live comedy shows once a month." The dispensary started in July 2010 in hopes of bringing cannabis-based medical products to those who need them. "This is a place that your mother can go to, your father can go to," Lambert said, "and in fact that they probably should go to because all the pharmaceuticals they've been hooked on are what's killing them." And no, I couldn't resist shamelessly snapping a self-portrait in their snazzy mirror.
