With the legalization of marijuana for medical (and recreational) use on the rise in the U.S., specialty pot shops are becoming a legal, profitable business.  Providing medical grade bud to those with a prescription (or anyone over the age of 21 in Colorado and Washington), these dispensaries sell a huge selection of custom-made strains, tinctures, and edibles.


With an increase in research towards the positive benefits of psychedelic drugs, their legalization could mimic that of marijuana. In the Netherlands, "smart shops" sell a selection of mind-altering substances including psilocybin and other psychedelics.  One day, you neighborhood dispensary could carry a selection of designer drugs (like the new 25i) and special preparations of natural psychedelics.
