wrong. our lawmakers are going to give clarity to how to dispense, providing a rulebook that says exactly how to play the game. right now you've got the affirmative defense, its legal, you just don't have guidelines to follow except for the limited ones currently there.
the aff. defense applies to the administration of medicine which is inclusive to dispensing. Unless you want to make up your own definitions of words.
So like you said, RCW 69.51A does not restrict dispensaries, it merely grants an aff. def to those who are dispensing to patients legally under 69.51A
the only dispensaries that are being busted are the ones that the cops think they can get for not dispensing to legal patients.

Dispensaries are businesses..business can't use an aff. def....clarity only applies to statutes already promulgated, such as the above statute outlining what legal dispensing/distributing is available to date.
The dispensaries targeted/busted was because a "competitor" made a complaint and leo used "operatives" inside the club when the informants was buying from the owners,(nec420 search warrant affidavit clearly stated this fact) the others I haven't seen yet so far. But, the only dispensaries operating with immunity are in king co. only, because of the guidelines in rcw 9.94A.411 combined with prop. 75 which says pot is lowest priority...the prosecutors and leo's hands are tied by the people of the city of seattle...hence, why hempfest is allowed.
So void for vagueness is what your saying here above. no guidelines for public or law enforcement.

Opinion | Washington's medical marijuana law needs fine-tuning | Seattle Times Newspaper
EXCERPT:
I will introduce legislation to protect patients from arrest and prosecution and provide well-regulated, safe, consistent and secure sources of cannabis for medical use through licensed dispensaries. I hope citizens across the state will help me pass this legislation to improve the safety of patients, our loved ones and the communities in which we live.
NOT "CLARIFY" !!! BUT, IMPROVE ACCESS.

Incumbent Democrat Jeanne Kohl-Welles, who is seeking one last term in the state senate:wtf:, is a reliable Dem on budget issues and social justice, and we're excited to see her promised legislation to patch up holes in the state's medical-marijuana law (like protecting patients from being arrested:cool:). This fix is overdue and Kohl-Welles has laid the groundwork to get it done:pimp:. Vote Kohl-Welles.

and don't need to because its a specific person who acts as the designated provider. a "dispensary" is a place where medicine is "dispensed" by designated providers.
If they act within the guidelines set by RCW 69.51A they "shall not be found guilty of a crime under state law" for assisting in the administration of marijuana. which is inclusive of its dispensing*.
I don't go in circles, so my challenge remains. If dispensing is illegal under 69.51A, quote the sentence that makes it so, until then this is my final word on the subject.

I don't know why he brought up Seattle's Marijuana De-Prioritization initiative, speaking about king county.
I-75 made marijuana possession the lowest priority crime in Seattle.

The only scary part to me is how a Judge interpets "(d) Is the designated provider to only one patient at any one time."

Because the only lawful dispensaries are in seattle because of 2 legal factors,
1) I-75
2) rcw 9.94A.411`legislative intent, (change in society morals)

that's a nice opinion, but seattle doesn't fill all of king county.
