We should all look at the past of what the state has done for us marijuana consumers. Either for medical or recreational use.

First Rcw 69.51 the marijuana therapeutics act was the mother of RCW 69.51A. In that act the state board of pharmacy was to supply all the patients in this program. They didn't. They was suppose to help patients. They didn't. The reason/excuse was it is against federal law. They gave the money back.

Marijuana is still against federal law. Once a farm grower gets to growing the feds will come in and seize everything. Then who is going to supply the board with marijuana?

This now becomes a cluster *uck of where do I get my pot at? The same issue we have now. But, even worse then because we now have the same 1932 tax act in place , only it is state wide and federal wide.

I just wish to point these very important legal issues out so we all can view the evil that is upon us all.

And why should I ask a person not engaging in pot but, beer manufacturing at home to give up their right to home brewing when they don't smoke but drink.....

This legislation is not good for the people of Washington as a whole. It is a scam by smart politicians to not offer honest services.
You are right, the politicians(not all) are screwing the MedMar people with this Bill, the state is making a desperate grab at the entire Cannabis industry in WA.state, because they see that the PEOPLE are putting forward an initiative to completely legalize Cannabis for adults.....if that gets passed then they will probably file a lawsuit against it ,claiming that it is counter to Federal Law....
