LIQUOR CONTROL BOARD BANS POT FROM WASHINGTON BARS

December might be the last month marijuana smokers can legally toke up at Frankie's Sports Bar & Grill, if the Liquor Control Board adopts a rule change now under consideration.

The state Liquor Control Board on Wednesday adopted a rule change that makes it illegal for any liquor-licensed establishment to allow marijuana consumption of any kind on its premises.

The rule change likely goes into effect 30 days from Wednesday's unanimous board vote, said Mikhail Carpenter, a spokesman for the Liquor Control Board.  That means, starting on or about Jan.  17, marijuana smokers can no longer light up on the second floor of Frankie's Sports Bar on Pacific Avenue in Olympia.
