Washington State - Senate Bill 5073 (aka HB1100)
A new bill has been drafted and is on the docket for the state legislature in Washington State. The purpose of this bill is to clarify and redefine the medical marijuana policies in washington, in fact they even go so far as to redefine the term marijuana to cannabis. cool.
I'm not really sure what the policy is here for posting outside links so for now I will tell you that I found the .pdf of the bill by googling "sb 5073" Anyway, this revision to the current law grants secure access for medical cannabis patients and also allows them to live without fear of arrest. Specifically the law says that medical cannabis doctors, patients, caregivers and providers may not be arrested if they are able to provide the necessary paperwork proving a legal right. Currently a medical marijuana recommendation in washington, like many other states, serves only as a valid legal defense. The bulk of this proposed law would define the medical cannabis industry in washington. If passed this law would make available to citizens, not specifically medical cannabis patients, a license to produce, process or dispense medical cannabis. The production and processing would be regulated by the washington state department of agriculture while the patients and dispensaries would be regulated by the department of health. There is a lot to this bill and I don't want to write it all down. But I do want to talk about it! there are some logistical points that i can't quite figure out that I'm others around here could shed some light on. But more on that in a minute. If you have any interest in current medical marijuana laws or are a patient in WA i would recommend reading this bill. SP ps. it's 36pgs but really a good read! |

Ok so it's paragraph 8 in section 603 that I was curious about. This regards rules that are to be created by the director of the department of agriculture.
"(8) Adopt rules regarding the identification of cannabis intended for medical use so that such cannabis may be readily identified if stolen or removed in violation of the provisions of this chapter from a production or processing facility, or if otherwise unlawfully transported;" What could possibly be done to "identify" licensed cannabis. All I can come up with is either some sort of DNA database, which is expensive and not really plausible, or some sort of adulterant that may be added during flowering. Like a dye or something. Thoughts? SP |

It's encouraging that people are following, researching, and investigating the latest cannabis developments.
That said, I think you're reading a bit too deeply into the above excerpt - most likely the cannabis would have a label on it, that's it. Dyes and adulterants? Lol, creative, I like that.

I don't like the statewide database idea. I have a feeling that somewhere along the line those names will make it to the DEA. But other than that, I think the bill is great.

I can get lables to stick to bags or mason jars, but that doesn't solve the problem of using the same jar or bag multiple times. Perhaps this round of government ass-clowns will require one-time use breakable seals or such and sell them to recognized growers at a huge price (tax stamp and all).

@Nirvana Papya,
Oregon has a statewide database run by the DoH, I think, someone please correct me if I'm wrong. And I have not heard much of anything about the DEA raiding Oregon growers. |

They do raid Dr's offices and STEAL patient records in violation of Federal HIPA laws, but why the fuck should they care nothing EVER happens to PIGS breaking laws. State data-bases are never used for ill purposes. Where are those Jews and guns anyway?

Yo hydro, the DEA raids offices of doctors who prescribe medical marijuana in those states. not the department of health databases. i guess what it comes down to is this: would you prefer that your information is kept private by the state DoH or some doc in a box who charges you $100 for a mmj card?
