POT LAW CREATES CONFUSION FOR STATE DISPENSARIES
After Gov. Chris Gregoire vetoed large chunks of a bill intended to
clarify the state's medical marijuana muddle, what remains of the law
is in tatters, creating concerns and confusion for the state's dispensaries.
Definitions in the original law that medical marijuana supporters
used to justify dispensaries were removed by legislators who thought
they would be replacing them with a blueprint for a state-regulated
supply and distribution system.
Old language referring to "designated providers" who provided
cannabis to "only one patient at any one time" disappeared, taking
one of the dispensaries' main claims for legitimacy with them.
