You are correct from section (b) and further noted sections down,this is the legal requirements...but, for those in section (a) this requirement was "specifically" left out, so these qualifying conditions don't need to have "failed" standard treatments...the mmj is used with/in conjunction with the standard treatments and meds used in the standard treatment(s) of the conditions...Quote:

Certainly not the legislature but, the judiciary which is ad-hoc and discriminatory enforcement which is void-for-vagueness under that doctrine and separation of powers doctrine violation, i.e. unconstitutional. Since the 1 yr. is not to be located in plain terms and language in the whole chapter anywhere which would apprise the public and leo of what conduct is prohibited. It come from commercialization of the practice of medicine by those whom can't qualify for a learned profession license, they are skirting the laws and making a mockery of the medical profession.
And when exactly did this come about? It would seem those who got authorized before that change would still be legal, or grandfathered. :cool:Quote:

The initiative language pertaining to legal vs. just an aff. def. is the same even after GSB 6032 was enacted..the wa. supreme court had never "interpreted" this part of the statute before now...so it has always been an aff. def. even in the 3 appeal districts...it is still lawful use for mmj patients as the operative language proscibes, just not those whom "claim" they are because of the "requirements" as noted by the fry court, the whole chapter is what lawfully negates probable cause...big difference in having a qualifying condition and the dr. medical opinion..some dr. don't use their opinion but, their employers medical opinion for test cases...
Our court has not had the correct qualifying patients case before it yet..they have been "TEST" cases only so far...which have all failed except 1, mr. olson in kitsap co....which cost him everything he owned to have a real trial from thcf.
So don't give up just yet KW420...we will get there in time.
The court stops here when using it's broad discretion to ascertain the meaning of a statute, i.e. the "DIB" 1 yr renewal clause. If words are not located in the statute, the court has nothing in words to construe to see if the statute is unambiguous...or ambiguous...nor can it add words or remove them. The legislature is the only government body which may add or remove words.
In order to ascertain the meaning of a statute, the court looks first to its language. If the language is not ambiguous, the court gives effect to its plain meaning. If a statute is clear on its face, its meaning is to be derived from the language of the statute alone. If a statute is ambiguous, the court employs tools of statutory construction to ascertain its meaning. A statute is ambiguous if it is susceptible to two or more reasonable interpretations, but a statute is not ambiguous merely because different interpretations are conceivable. The court does not subject an unambiguous statute to statutory construction and has declined to add language to an unambiguous statute even if it believes the Legislature intended something else but did not adequately express it. Courts may not read into a statute matters that are not in it and may not create legislation under the guise of interpreting a statute. Thus, when a statute is not ambiguous, only a plain language analysis of a statute is appropriate.
james, seriously, just stop. You're not a lawyer, if you want to be one, go to school.
The sad fact about this country is that you have to become atleast a backyard attorney just to cut through the bullshit any more. Its one of the failings of our society that you even need an attorney to represent you in a court. The laws have become so convoluted that not even judges can make sense out of them any more.
My personal opinion is that all laws should be repealed that have been written in the last 200 years and start over with some sort of a resemblance of commonsense.
Sorry you see being an advocate which posts our courts rules, the findings, the laws, and of coarse their own plain english words they use in the real world as wanting to be a lawyer...I certainly don't want to be a lawyer or play one..:D I certainly don't want to be played by one or any of them either.:wtf:Quote:

So we must all be on the same page as patients vs. "ALL" the special interest groups living off of us sick and dying for their owns selling-interests.
And all of this still boils down to MMJ is not legal in Washington. If it were patients wouldn't be arrested and force to prove there innocence. I was always under the impression that you are innocent till proven guilty.
Its like say you're walking across a marked crosswalk legally and an officer writes you a ticket for jaywalking. If its just your word against the officers word, who do you think would win in court?
The backyard lawyer would...wouldn't he???:stoned: I beat the radar gun, the troopers written BS reports/testimony, the radar techs testimony...but, then like got charged with a crime because I beat it. Like you said about the prosecutors...it's their turf not ours, in their minds....I personally believe it's our turf and they rent it from us, we the people. And when the lease is up, TIME TO GO!! If not before then. But, that's just how I see and read the lease. Go figure, so call me a slum lord..lol.:DQuote:
