Medical marijuana is now a prescription drug in Wa.

I can't believe they were dumb enough to write prescription into the new language. It must have been an accident. Unless they're willing to start the fight for our 10th Amendment rights here in Washington. Would be nice if that was what they're really after. But nurses aren't allowed to write prescriptions anyway so they would have to change that part of the law too.
Just sounds more like a typical sloppy legislation written by the idiots we keep electing.

The wa. st. legislature has full control over the practice of medicine and drugs...and they also have the 10th amend. to back them up. And nurses can write what the legislature says they can write, unless it is "unconstitutional".

Wa. st. delegates wrote a 10th amendment notice/declaration to the president.

Want to read it?

p.s. oregon did it also, only they did it via the bop rescheduling it, here in wa. the bop has no jurisdiction over an herb.
