Back from the meeting in Olympia

Here is a link for those interesting in watching the hearing. There seem to be some interjection of another hearing on cessation of smoking intermingled. Watch it if you want. I don't care too because I'm frankly tired of hearing the same old refrain...somewhere down the road it will be done. I've had enough of that language from friends let alone keep hearing it from the freaking government. And it never seems to come to pass.

You my friend are missing some great testimony from elected officials who are backing this bill because their family has mmj authorizations..a great watch.

This bill is going forward no matter what, with some slight changes.

Not a lot of people got to speak, but those that did spoke out against the registry, citing privacy and security concerns that have recently arisen in numerous other states. Also addressed was the issue of collectives, to give them immunity the same as dispensaries, and the issue of the 1/1/11 date to register as a dispensary. Several people spoke on the issue of non-profit vs. for profit, and that dispensaries should be allowed to select their own business model, as would any other Rating: 5
