I live in a medical cannabis state in the US and would like to tag dispensaries in my area. However, the only reference I can find is for shop=cannabis, which the wiki explicitly states is inappropriate for medical facilities. I could use amenity=pharmacy, but as these facilities only dispense cannabis products, this seems inappropriate as well. Is there any generally accepted feature for this? asked 12 Jun '19, 14:13  Itserpol |
One Answer:
There is currently no special tag to differentiate between shops selling recreational cannabis and those that sell only medically prescribed cannabis. As for the Wiki, I wouldn't let its pronouncements restrict my use of the shop=cannabis key. If we can come up with a suitable new tag to make it possible to include medical only shops, that would be my favored way forward. This is a good question for the tagging list to kick around. Perhaps cannabis:medical=yes/only or something similar? Cheers, Dave answered 12 Jun '19, 17:15  AlaskaDave |
The tag cannabis:medical=yes is already in use. In the case of a dispensary selling only medical cannabis, I would modify that tag:
cannabis:medical=only
cannabis:recreational=no (optionally)
At some point, someone will have to edit the shop=cannabis page to allow for this tagging scenario.
How about editing it now? :)
