This is my take on rcw 69.51A et.seq.

The court in state v. fry clarified a lot of legal issues we all needed to know, like the presentment requirement is "only triggered when charged", not when encroached by any leo as written in the statute.

Also the court clarified that it is not the presentment requirement which negates probable cause...and they are 100% correct...this is what negates probable cause in the act: (1) The lawful possession or manufacture of medical marijuana as authorized by this chapter...the entire chapter negates any probable cause because it clearly states in plain language this is so...lawful possession and manufacturing

The fry court reminded us that if you don't meet all the prerequisite requirements, marijuana is still illegal under the csa...no matter how small of an amount.

(1) If a law enforcement officer determines that marijuana is being possessed lawfully under the medical marijuana law( it appears this portion here is inconstant with the language of the entire chapter according to the court under McBride).

It is very apparent our courts are using form over substance...
