Here in Washington State the Liquor control board and the Department of Health are about ready to make radical changes to the medical marijuana laws.
The problem is the experts are now attacking the medical rules and putting them under most of the same regulations. This will take away the following (just to name a few read the draft to see what else we will loose as medical patients):
1. Can not have any live plants by eliminating "home grows" which will raise the price for all of us by at least 75% all in the new required excise taxes on sales plus additional B&O & sales tax.
2. Only allowed 3 oz a week no more than this allowed at one site at anytime
3. Caregiver/patients no longer allowed
4. Repeal of RCW69.51A.045 which provides affirmative defense to criminal charges of possession above the legal amount
5. Additional limits on infused products
6. NO Collective gardens
7. New and more intensified yearly medical exams with much higher requirements to qualify
If these new laws are passed Washington State will be taking on giant step backwards for all of their medical group ~ speak out now before it is too late, let the committee know we don't need such radical changes. Read the current draft 3ESSB 5034 Sec 114(2) before it is too late let the board know they are trying to go too far and that there is a big difference between recreational and medical needs.
