I'd prefer the current system of anyone who is 18 years old, designated in writing, who doesn't use the medicine for the patient for whom they are a provider, being able to "assist in the administration" for one patient at any one time, to one where only those who have licenses from the government can dispense.
Step backwards, and exactly what LEO wants. I wouldn't be surprised if no licenses ever get issued.
Really, who cares what LEO wants. Its a government of the people, for the people, by the people, not LEO or legislators when the people have the power of initiative. And any cannabis initiative that is drawn up needs to contain a clause to keep the legislators from tampering with the will of the people after two years. LEO is looking for job security bleeding the taxpayer, the people and patients are looking for fairness and freedom to decide what is right and just for them. The majority of the people are supposed to win every time. Bring it up for initiative regardless of what the legislators may do. time to show them who really is the boss. Enough is enough. more :twocents:
Unfortunately, Senator Kohl-Wells seems to be placing much stock into what LEO thinks, and is carving up the medical marijuana law to suite their wants and desires.

Then she has no business being a patient advocate. Maybe LEO dug and found something they can use on her? Who knows because I always heard she was for patients.
Senator Kohl-Wells is helping law enforcement to try and gut the majority of access that patients currently enjoy.
The idea is to create a yet to be announced system where you have to register with the department of agriculture and the department of health.
If you don't do that, as a provider you will only be able to serve one patient every 90 days. And if your provider doesn't do that, then he won't be able to provide anyone except for you meds.
Say bye bye to legal access for most people.
"Medical Use of Cannabis Act: Goals for 2011 Session
Overview
I see a LOT in there that worries me.
Where did this come from, btw... is it accessible online anywhere?
Sorry I've been gone so long, was dealing with a death in the family.
Meanwhile, Senator Jerome Delvin (R-Richland) says he is considering a medical marijuana bill. His would create a statewide registry of medical marijuana patients that law enforcement could use to confirm that someone has a valid doctor's recommendation for pot. He says he has not worked out the details--the biggest question being whether the state or some other organization would run the system-- but that it would have to be one that both patients and police officers felt comfortable using, a tall order.
Sarich is himself unveiling what he calls a "voluntary" registry. He's got mock up of identification cards (pictured above) that he intends to sell to patients who want to use the system and can supply a doctor's recommendation for pot. He also has created a prototype of a website that both law enforcement and dispensaries could use to authenticate patients. Given his controversial profile, though, the big question is whether patients, law enforcement and doctors will buy into it.
I'm not much on government list, I think that should always be voluntary. As long as they could leave the public with that option would be fine.
This all ties into that at this point as big of a mess we have woth government regulation, if the state has access to this information that means the feds have access to this information. Its not constitutional but thats the nature of the system we are living with now.
I'm in favor of anything that grants civilians the right to use there constitutional rights and cannabis use certainly is under there constitutional right for the pursuit of happiness. Like Doug Hiatt, I'm in favor of anything that gives Americans the freedom to use this substance in any manner that they see fit.
Hello, I am Chet Biggerstaff and Ive some info on this monstrocity of a bill Sen Wells has mutilated. 1st off we invited her to be a part of our push on this legislation and as soon as she had recived our information and inital draft she closed all doors to us and claimed it as her own. Then she went about butchering the bill into what it currently is. Our group as well as every other activist in the state has told her that many of the items she has in there are no starters and must be changed in order for the patients to support the bill. I explained to her that lumping everything into a single bill is the fastest way to kill it and that it should be one bill for patient protections and another to address the issue of distribution. After this email she responded saying I am rambling and ranting and that if I would just submit questions of the bills she would answer them. I never rant nor rave in my emails. I have always submited 2 questions to her and she never answers them. The last time we went round on this I only sent the questions with nothing else added. the response you ask? "I would prefer if you wait till draft 9 comes out. thank you". Mrs Wells is a liar and as dishonest as they come. Our group is now contacting every major news outlet in the state to fight her on this. I will not be lied to, mislead, or disrespected by one of our elected officials. This lady deserves to be kicked out on her but at light speed. There is a lot more to this story but I dont have time right now to get it all down. Peace

Well Chet, you aren't the only one who doesn't like the bill. They give with one hand and take with another. Getting a fair law is going to take an initiative. :thumbsup:
So they pass the Bill and the growers and pharmacies get licensed through Dept of Agriculture...What happens when people start filing tax returns? Is this what the Feds want? That is my biggest problem with them keeping tabs.
And we never failed to fail...it was the easiest thing to do.
