The Washington medical cannabis industry is now in harm

The Washington medical cannabis industry is now in harmā??s way ā?? THCadmin.
The bill that was supposed to CLARIFY the gray areas of our industry has lost my personal support. Unfortunately the bill that started with great intension has picked up some ā??Extra Baggageā? that I (personally) feel is now detrimental to this bill. So at this time I can no longer support the bill as itā??s currently written. This bill had everything it needed to be great law until the recent amendments were imposed.

I feel after watching the vote live last week and seeing exactly how much momentum itā??s got and time they gave our bill, something WILL get passed if we donā??t oppose it now. The WCA stance differs from mine just a little and Ezra will be putting out our Associations action alert here shortly.

I want to be clear that being part of a democratic organization such as the WCA one person may not always get his/her way. I feel it important to go with the majority vote - I was not the majority at the last meeting, I was very much the minority vote. The WCA is not far behind my personal views, we as an Association voted to support the bill to the HOUSE and then if the ā??Extra Baggageā? isnā??t fixed at that point we (The WCA) would withdraw our support for the bill and move to kill it outright.

We all agree that parts of the bill as they are NOW written need major fixing, the only part we disagree on is when we should apply the brakes. I hope I am wrong.
I would also hope the House Health Care committee can see the errors in the new amendments, but I think Iā??ve seen enough of how our government works to know it will be very hard to make up all the ground that was just lost.

We learned a little while ago that 5073 will be heard in the House Health Care and Wellness Committee on Monday 3/14 at 1:30 p.m. in House Hearing Rm B in the John L. O'Brien Building on the Capitol campus in Olympia. As I mentioned before Ezra will be sending me an action alert here shortly. The fight isnā??t over, but it sure just got a lot more scary.
