Seattle Times endorsing marijuana legalization bill

Looks like they picked up a Rock Star...Does this mean if it passes and we do away with liquor stores we will be able to buy from our Local 7-11?

I bet 99% of the people over at king5 debating this haven't even read the bill. I have a feeling this will create more criminals than it will free. Better build more jails along with this one.

the bill is terrible, but even if passed, it doesn't go into effect for two years, and the initiative process will make the law null and void. :thumbsup:

Just the endorsement for legalization plants the right seed.

How true, it does getting people thinking. This could help I guess, but it scares me all the same.

Fear not, the enemy is on the run!!!! :lol5:

An endorsement from the Spokesman-Review would go good in the east side too.

I believe there is a paper on the eastside that is close to endorsing cannabis legalization, but I cannot be sure. We should hear soon, I hope.

What they will do though is to use that bill as a guideline when Intaitive 1135 expires in 2 years if it passes. Just means will have to pull a Tim Eyemen and refile the intiative every 3 or 4 years.

Better yet is to make the legislators change the rule that they can't change a voter passed initiative without an other voter initiative. Keeps their dirty little fingers off the switch. :thumbsup:

I think Eyman has that in mind. It's a great idea.
