UNCLEAR STATE LEGAL STANDARDS FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA A FRUSTRATION FOR CITIES
Prosecutors and municipalities in Thurston County are trying to find
their way through a maze of legal questions raised by the state's
medical marijuana law.
Thurston County prosecutors are weighing cases against four local
providers, having already charged the proprietors of one marijuana
collective in Olympia.
Meanwhile, the City of Lacey is trying to close two outlets that say
they are legally providing marijuana to patients under the state's
"collective gardens" provision passed by the Legislature last year.
In Olympia, officials have taken no action to close a collective that
opened downtown in April.
