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
1. Replace slang term ā??marijuanaā? with the plantā??s botanical name, ā??cannabisā? and incorporate the
Definition from the Uniform Controlled Substances Act (see RCW 69.50.101(q))

2. Create consistent usage of the phrase ā??medical conditionā? throughout, replacing references to
ā??Illnessā? or ā??diseaseā?

3. Eliminate inconsistencies between intent section (RCW 69.51A.005) and operative sections

4. Require documents executed by qualifying patients to designate providers be signed and dated,
And clarify that ā??valid documentation,ā? for designated providers, includes the designating
Document as well as proof of identity and the patientā??s authorization

5. Define ā??plantā? and incorporate the Department of Health definition of ā??useableā? cannabis (see
WAC 246-75-010(2)(d))

6. Clarify the distinction between health care professionals discussing the medical use of cannabis
With patients and authorizing such use

7. Provide qualifying patients and designated providers who possess no more than the
Presumptive amounts established by the Department of Health with protection from arrest
and prosecution

8. Maintain the affirmative defense for qualifying patients and designated providers who possess
more than the presumptive amounts but are otherwise in compliance with all other conditions

9. Change the limitation that designated providers may serve ā??only one patient at any one timeā?
to a ninety-day restriction on changing patients

10. Allow duly authorized patients visiting from other states that allow medical use of cannabis to
raise an affirmative defense under Washingtonā??s law

11. Protect qualifying patients from restriction of parental rights without proof of interference
with performance of parenting functions

12. Protect qualifying patients from negative employment consequences resulting from off-site
medical use of cannabis so long as such use does not prevent proper performance of work, the
employment is not safety-sensitive, and the employer is not a federal contractor or grant
recipient

13. Modify ā??public displayā? prohibition to mirror ā??open containerā? prohibition (see RCW 66.44.100)

14. Modify impaired driving restriction to explicitly reference the DUI statute, which expressly
excludes legal authorization to use a drug as an excuse for impaired driving (see RCW
46.61.502(2))

15. Create systems for licensing and regulating producers and dispensers of cannabis for medical
use through the departments of agriculture and health

16. Require evaluation of the systems for licensing and regulating producers and dispensers to
assess their impact on qualifying patientsā?? access to an adequate, safe, consistent, and secure
source of cannabis for medical use (see RCW 69.51A.080(3))

17. Incorporate a state preemption clause"
Like I said, they will fuck it all up. Prior to prohibition, there wasn't any restrictions on cannabis. Time to go back to the beginning from before prohibition and all the lies surrounding it and just free the fucking plant. Some humans are some of the biggest assholes the mystery of life ever created. To have a plant cause so much hysteria and prejudice is beyond rational reasoning. :twocents:
