New Bill fast tracked danger to MMJ in WA state - Washington State - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Copied from a post from another forum.

WARNING!
We had a meeting with Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles last Tuesday on the Patient Protection Act. Instead of supporting our bill, she came out with her own bill that will give the cities the right to ban ALL medical cannabis grows, not just collectives, and will start a new patient registry with cards issued through the Liquor Control Board. If this bill passes, it will mean the end of medical marijuana in Washington State.

The bill is SB 5528. She has fast tracked this bill to sneak it by everyone. She will have a hearing on this bill on Monday, February 4th, 10 AM, Senate hearing room 4.

... She will also be pushing a bill requesting that the DEA move marijuana to Schedule II. Should this happen, only pharmacists could dispense it. We will be opposing that bill as well.

Please send links to your friends outside the City of Seattle. They will be hurt the worst by this legislation.

Please contact me at 206-612-9044 and I’ll be happy to tell you how you can help. We’ll have buttons ready for Monday’s hearing.

Senate bill 5578:

Isn't legal there now?
So if they do away with the MMJ program, doesn't that mean that the patients will just have to become recreational smokers now?
Or am I missing something?

there is two different new SB's the one the groups are working on and one that was fast tracked which will remove garden rights for all patients on a county to county basis via vote, an attempt to remove concentrates from the list of acceptable medical "products" from Cannabis, it will institute a registry system with ID cards where DEA can access at any time they want.

No this isn't a "change to specific wording" this is an attempt to garner sales and money for the state and corporations while removing the rights of the small home gardener like me.

READ the bill, don't call someone else and ask them what they read.

those definitions aren't scary until YOU READ THE BILL and realize that those are NOT defined as "usable" by patients under the new bill. They are defining Concentrates as Cannabis PRODUCT which are NOT usable only usable cannabis is defined as USABLE cannabis. Re-read the damn thing people, if this this is your state don't let them pull the rug out from under you because you got comfortable.

As for the not a patient comment, uh, no you arent? What are you 6?
