The law was applied arbitrarily from the beginning of the lockdown. There was never uniformity, and the decisions about which businesses are essential was arbitrary rather evidence-based. In what rational world is a marijuana dispensary considered more essential than a car factory?

I'm not sure how you can type this out with a straight face. A store that sells medicine is obviously significantly more essential than a factory for luxury cars - especially considering that most people who can afford them also most likely can just work from home.

How will they get to the dispensary?

Many delivery services are operating, or they could have a caregiver pick it up for them.

What sort of vehicles will those deliverers and caregivers use?

The one they already have. How were they buying groceries and making deliveries before the pandemic? I understand where you are going with this, but that's not a good faith argument for keeping car factories open.
