Wa legislature working hard to lump patients and recreational users together - Washington State - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

PATIENTS BEWARE! I502 means sick people harm!
Call your lawmakers and tell them patients and recreational users must be kept separate!!!
I502 means to strip patients of their right to grow their own!
I seriously hope the feds stop i502 so we can do this again, but the right way this time.

I've heard nothing from an official source of this. Its been declared by the state numerous times that there is nothing in I-502 that affects med patients in any way. And from my understanding it would take a separate initiative to change our WA state MMJ laws. But, I am no political or legal expert so if anyone can correct me, feel free.

The I-502 initiative does have its real pros and cons.... but immediately affecting MMJ is not currently on the agenda as far as I know.

Initiative 502 doesn’t change Washington’s medical marijuana law, but patients receive new
arrest protection and regulated access to quality-controlled, locally-grown marijuana.
I-502 does not change the Washington State Medical Use of Cannabis Act.
• Washington’s Medical Use of Cannabis Act, codified at Chapter 69.51A of the Revised Code of
Washington,1
provides qualifying patients with terminal or debilitating medical conditions an “affirmative
defense” to marijuana charges brought in state and local courts.2
• I-502 amends Washington’s Uniform Controlled Substances Act, codified at Chapter 69.50 of the Revised
Code of Washington,3
and makes no changes to the Medical Use of Cannabis Act. Patients will continue to
be allowed to grow their own marijuana plants and possess a 60-day supply of medical marijuana.4
I-502 offers medical marijuana patients protection from arrest.
• Because Washington’s medical marijuana law only provides an affirmative defense that can be raised at
trial, patients can still be arrested, searched, and prosecuted – and have their medical marijuana seized –
even if they are in complete compliance with the law.5
• I-502 decriminalizes adult possession of 1 oz. of useable marijuana, 16 oz. of marijuana-infused products
in solid form (cookies, e.g.), and 72 oz. of marijuana-infused products in liquid form (teas, lotions).
6
Adults
21 and over would no longer be subject to arrest or prosecution for possession of these amounts of
marijuana, regardless of whether they were using them for non-medical or medical purposes.
I-502 provides safe access to quality-controlled, locally-grown marijuana.
• Washington’s medical marijuana law does not provide patients safe access points for quality-controlled
marijuana. The law provides only that patients can grow for themselves, designated others to grow for
them, or join a collective garden consisting of no more than 10 patients. In each of these scenarios,
patients remain vulnerable to arrest, search, and burglary.
• Many patients are too sick to grow for themselves, or live in rentals or small spaces where growing at
home is not an option, and they do not have friends or family members willing and able to grow for them.
In these cases, patients, friends, and family members sometimes turn to the black market where they are
left to buy marijuana of unknown quality, which may have come from out of state or another country.
• I-502 establishes a system for licensing and regulating Washington businesses to grow, process, and
distribute marijuana that has met state quality and safety standards. Under I-502, only marijuana grown
in Washington can be sold in Washington, and only through designated, marijuana-only stores.

hey Tokin! are you the guy who flipped out @ the spokane 502 forum? whether or not; you might serve yourself better to sit back and take a few breaths or something~

Tokin · 03-22-2013, 04:44 AM

Bullshit. 502 is extremely dangerous to 69.52a. https://theolympiareport.com/lawmaker...arijuana-laws/

https://washingtonstatewire.com/blog/...s-legislation/

Say what you.want, fact is 502 is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Mark my words.

Tokin · 03-22-2013, 04:46 AM

I wouldnt be caught attending that garbage. I stay in my county and educate the patients. Pend Oreille as a county voted NO on 502. Seriously the state of Wa needs to split and the west side can takd 502 with it. This side will vote in real legislation, not a bogus lie.

Another fine example of how 502 is causing patients problems. Even though this was shot down this wont be the last attack on patients and 69.51. Next they will.go after our right to grow our own. Miss Holcomb has already made her feelings known about the small medical grower
Anyone that trusts a gov lobby is a fool. New approach is a joke.
