However, not being a lawyer, I'm not sure of the legalities of forming a charter to preform a business conducting an illegal act. The state may reject your charter on these grounds.

This is just as murky as them trying to tax the profits from an illegal act and looks to be the beginnings of a very interesting fight toward legalization to me. You know that legalization is going to happen because of pressure such as this... not from a president who one day decides that it will be a good idea to make it legal.

I have an inactive non-profit that I started with another mmj patient a couple of years back. Because they did some things with money I borrowed to acquire medicine to provide to patients, and they asked people I didn't know if they would start growing for it, the relationship was severed. I have the corporation documents still in my possession, and can use it to log on to the account in the sec of state web site. I could reactivate it for $10.00 but won't at this point in time. That said, when I filed and wrote up the non-profit corporation, I said our intent was to provide a non-prescription medication to a special class of medical patients. So, it is possible as most have the same type of non-profit status, and I'm sure most or many do if they are smart.
gypski Reviewed by gypski on . AP exclusive Now this is a good one. Far out...but wait, doesn't the State also state that dispensaries are illegal? Now I do not know where the exact clause is, but on the DOH website in FAQ the following: From: Medical Marijuana Frequently Asked Questions - Washington State Dept of Health fricking oxymoronic crap.
