I had a very small amount of seeds in a small ziplock that I didn't really care about. (or they wouldn't have been on my floor board) The officer found the seeds and started to question me about them. Well when I pointed out the fact that I was a MMJ patient, and he said, but why do you need seeds?

The cop actually thought that my Dr was providing me with MJ. I finally had to quote the RCW 69.51A (if you are a patient you should know your laws of your home state this well, it really does pay off) and tell him that the dr only provided me with a piece of paper and that I had to grow my own medicine.
He called it into dispatch while I sat in the back of the car in cuffs.

I had to point out to him that if I didn't grow my own medicine, I would have to go to the street dealers as there is no dispensery in WA state.
(boy was he pissed that he had to give back all my glass pipes and the seeds and stuff :thumbsup: )


We have to educate not only ourselfs as patients or citizens, but also our law enforcement and politicians as well. I worked for a patient group for the better part of the last year, and most of them were terrible growers. They had to go to the streets as well.

Get involved with your local groups where ever you are. You know after some digging around that some counties in WA state don't even know that there was a MMJ law passed? They have been putting patients in jail for the last 8 years.

Though education and motivation anything is possible. Write letters, send emails, make phone calls, or donate time to groups.

Ok now I'm just rambling but I want to say that I really agree with the image reaper, if we all run around smoking J's with fingers stained orange from cheetos and making street deals, nothing is going to get better.

Now if only we could do something about club sluts and their attire......
but that is for a diff rant.

Thanks for listening,

GREAT story :thumbsup: ... glad you were released, after the hassle ... I noticed the cop was pissed about not being able to complete his 'bust' ... jerk must be fond of meaningless paperwork ... maybe if he kept busier protecting lives, and watching out for REAL crime, he wouldn't get so bored ... good luck to ya ... :smokin:
the image reaper Reviewed by the image reaper on . 1500th post .... my latest rant ... for my 1500th post, I thought I'd do something a bit different, and just say hello to everyone ... I truly hope we can get our medical marijuana accepted worldwide, and do away with the harsh, arcane laws that lock up, and mistreat honest, decent people ... I also hope everyone, particularly the younger people, realize that this will likely never happen, if we don't clean up our act ... the 'dumb stoner' and 'street thug/dope dealer' images MUST be made a thing of the past ... politicians pay Rating: 5
