Legislative Bills

[jamessr]

Would sure be nice of we returned to the constitution. But I don't see it happening. The repubs don't care any more about the constitution than the dems do. Maybe in a couple years we'll look like Tunisia.

As you can see, our constitution is being crossed out line by line as time goes forward. The reasoning for this is so we can become insolvent as a nation and become just like the EU...it's a money thing..world bank thing. History of our planet co-equal with human nature shows this as a fact in motion.

I have a question? How does one register under a legislative act which has not yet been enacted.

In case you didn't know this yet, they already have a list of "known" advertised dispensaries in which leo/state prosecutors have targeted... anyone not on this list yet may respond and get identified in the process as a target instead of being covered.

Who is them time??

Because it is our legislators whom are debating this and making laws in our best interests.

It is the executive branch demanding and pushing illegal conduct no matter what.

It is the judicial branch having all the fun with it though... thats the branch which needs the harnesses if any do... as without a judges authorization, no leo has any authority in wa. to do anything to any qualifying patient... it's all about the property and it's category as "contraband".

News flash from CDC about the list...oh my word.

Who comprises the Washington Cannabis Association has been very unclear. The WCA was created by activist attorney and Sensible Washington founder Douglas Hiatt in October. The group hired the volunteer Sensible Washington director Ezra Eickmeyer for $5000 per month starting in October, and hired the volunteer Sensible Washington media director Phillip Dawdy in November. Dawdy announced the group to the Seattle Weekly, claiming it was comprised of "two to three dozen business." Weeks later, Dawdy scaled that number back, telling the Associated Press it consisted of "about two dozen" businesses. According to the public records WCA is required to file, both of these number are inflated, and the WCA was actually comprised of ten members who could afford the $5000 entry fee. See:

According to these records, which can be found on the Public Disclosure Commission's web site (Washington State Public Disclosure Commission), the WCA is:


* Evergreen Holistic Center
* People Helping People
* Tacoma and Seattle Cross
* Medical Movement Network, LLC / THC List
* Individual Freedoms Corporation
* COBRA Medical Group
* Compassion in Action / Dunshee House
* Sacred Plant Medicine
* Green Hope Patient Network
* Sensable Patient Network


These are the medical cannabis businesses that are working to ensure they receive preferential treatment when it comes to future licensing of medical cannabis businesses. And for the time being, they have succeeded in adding a "grandfather clause" to the law, which states that currently operating growers and dispensers will be provided an affirmative defense to cannabis-related charges between the time the bill passes and the time licensing is set up in 2012 -- if those growers and dispensers had filed a corporate registration with the Secretary of State before January 1, 2011. And, of course, all WCA members have done this. We believe the WCA threatened to oppose the bill if this clause was not added.


Currently, this "you are protected if you have a pre-2011 corporate registration" clause is our single largest concern about the bill. Our membership has identified equal access to licensing as one of only two requirements for supporting this bill, and we intend to work on behalf of all Washington medical cannabis activists and business people to modify this language to ensure equal access to licensing.:wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf:

Got to say I'm pretty disappointed Doug Hiatt would have anything to do with this. I guess everyone has a price.
I didn't connect who Ezra was till I read up on him a little. Son of one of Washington's most corrupt legislature"s.

[hiamps]

Seems it is always about the money, and that Doug would do this suprises me not at all. It is all a bunch of crap talk to the people and secretly behinds the scenes trying to figure how to keep the most in THEIR pockets. Yet eveyones says "he's a good guy he is trying to help...." Hemp fest is all smoke and mirrors also.

I told you about huggy dougy and you told me I was wrong...I know the players very well my friend...experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. And I got some with these folks more than once. My son was told by hiatt himself in my presence to go away before he got himself killed..he lives in alaska now. My appeal will address why he was told this.

Can you say theft of honest services??
