ACLU VIOLATES OPEN PUBLIC MEETINGS ACT.. AGAIN

[sandybarr]

Gypski,
Show up at 1:30PM on Monday and plead your case...Out in the fucking open where it belongs.

Co-ops don't sell pot to 1,000's of people dispensaries do.I am not interested in hiding the pot clubs money behind a non profit,perhaps that is the way you want it.Either way the policy decision belongs out in the open not at the ACLU.I want dispensaries to pay taxes and comepete just like any other free market situation,you want a non profit cartel to provide the service.Fine maybe you can convince Olympia the value of your approach...out in the fucking open where all the other laws get formed.

I, along with many would prefer that mmj remain tax free just as any other medication is tax free except for the state sales tax. That would require guidelines for record keeping on the amount of medication dispensed, not how much any patient obtained along with the other normal record keeping. That is basically private information unless they get caught redistributing it. And that would be their responsibility to defend, not the co-op that thought they were using their medicine correctly under the law. Not too hard to add a rule for that. Just pencil it in. King County needs revenue and as good citizen's paying a nominal tax is our civic duty in a sense. :thumbsup:

Remember medical marijuana patients can't claim it under insurance and are at a disadvantage right from the start. Being a medical patient yourself Sandy, you should understand that. :jointsmile:

Like I said there may be value in the co-op approach,who knows we might end up with both.I prefer it be run as a regular business with insurance for bad products,which is why I won't go to any of these clubs out there now.I have been told too many times that they can not guarentee the quality of their products.Can you imagine going to Dick's and getting sick all the time and having them tell you they can't guarantee the quality of their product.It is unacceptable.

As far as not being alowed in the meeting because I am not a co-op,that is horsehockey.Perhaps I want to use them at some point but I won't until they are responsible for the products they sell,or have some sort of regulatory system in place.I simply don't trust the clubs that are out there now to develop a safety standard.These people in my opinion are just trying to sell as much pot as they can and could give a rip if they sell tainted or moldy pot.

However selling to thouands of patients that do not do anything but show up and buy pot is a dispensary.Green cross is a dispensary..most of them are like that very few are actiually co-ops.

I have been told it would be best to wait until after the budget hearing process is over to go down to the county council to gripe about this so I can get my full two minutes.

We have discretion to set policy including filing standards and other prosecutorial policies separate and apart from the county council or any other legislative body. We are the Executive Branch of county government and have authority under RCW 9.94A., specifically RCW 9.94A.411. We do not submit our filing standards to the County Council for approval.

sandy why don't you focus your energies at the real issue, legalizing coops and dispensaries?

[sandybarr]

I am suing them for this practice in the past,I need to know what their defense is going to be.He has provided me with the specific RCW with which they can supposedly do this legally.We will see about that in due time.
Now I can forecast potential arguments and start to formulate specific questions for defendant's when they take the witness stand.

I see glaring problems already and I can't wait for the moment they make this argument in court.

This whole thing is about creating work for lawyers,and the expert witness Martin Martinez.They push some totally illegal guideline that will get people to grow larger amounts without the specific protection of the state general law.Law enforcement will find them and sort this all out with lawyers and Judges just like those sneaky fucking bastards Martinez, Holcomb,Steinborn,and Hiatt want.

sandybarr, your on point there with what your trying to achieve,:thumbsup: go get them man !!! I totally agree with you, people whom haven't delt with the people your talking about are extremely clueless.... I have delt with almost all of them and what a bunch of thieves....:wtf:

[sandybarr]

Thank you James SR.
Perhaps we will cross paths in Olympia this next session.I urge you to recruit people to show up down there to be seen and heard.They keep wanting to hand pick people out of our community to make agreements with and run to the people and say here we have come to a concensus..Then they all gather behind the Governor and get their pen after she signs the Bill, as a momento.

Not any more.
