Anybody hear about Medical Marijauna

being turned over to the liquor control board?

This is from a respected man in the field ( I can't name names)

---------------------------------

The WA State Legislature may pass a new budget next week that includes an amendment that would turn medical cannabis regulation over to the Liquor Control Board.

The LCB that has already called medical cannabis the number one “external threat” to the success of their state system. They have characterized the medical patient community as “over 90% fakers” and stated that most have no qualifying medical conditions.

The Legislature is trying to rewrite the medical cannabis laws enacted by popular vote with no opportunity for public comment!

Please come to RALLY AT THE OLYMPIA LEGISLATURE, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19th AT NOON to save medical cannabis from the Liquor Control Board. If you can’t make the rally, PLEASE be sure to contact your state representatives as soon as possible.
---------------------------------

This is F$cked! Has anyone else heard of this?

I think I read about it in the Stranger right after the election.Inslee,Holder and Kerlikowski are going to do everything they can to footdrag implementation and interfere with the public's wishes.
Inslee is not our friend.

I just sent a "strongly worded message " to Inslee. I don't know how far that'll get.

Seems we get two choices these days. Someone who won't represent the peoples will or Satan Republicans.

yeay!

but really? No MM dispensaries....

He says the Liqueur Board believes 90% are fakers what's going to happen to the remaining 10%? I have a prescription/authorization from my doctor but the board just gets to say no?

What a fuckin racket.

Man this pisses me off to no end

thanks for the heads up.

I don't know what the final out come will be , I have a co-op now so I guess they will make us have to buy Taxed Weed. To say 90% is bullshit. Its a Tax Racket... when will they start taxing home grown lettuce and corn. It's kind of like the ACA, let the corporations control it all. Still I think that the Liquor Board is better than Privatizing.

he is a politician that says it all.And regardless of how bad he is, he is miles ahead of that medieval druid he was running against.McKenna makes my skin crawl.I hope we killed his political career for good.
