I strongly agree that the Wiki should be updated to include the tags
already in use for medical and recreational use of marijuana. I'm don't
understand why the Wiki authors made it so restrictive in the first place.

I also agree that these dispensaries are merely special purpose shops and
not pharmacies. Furthermore, in the U.S. normal pharmacies do not, AFAIK,
sell cannabis. I suggest:

cannabis:medical=yes/only
cannabis:recreational=yes/only

Using these optional tags, shops that sell only medical or only
recreational cannabis can be better distinguished.

Also, agree that the verbiage about Colorado could be removed.

Thanks,

Dave
