Bad News:
Yesterday, Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire vetoed most of the Bill that would update the current Washington State Medical Marijuana Law passed in 1998 that legalized medical marijuana for certain people. The update to the law passed the Washington State legislature and would protect certified medical marijuana users and allow medical marijuana dispensaries.
Good News:
Governor Gregoire did allow other parts of the Bill to become law. Up to 10 patients can pool together to grow a collective marijuana gardens containing up to 45 plants that yield up to 72 ounces of pot. She also said that she would work with other state governors to downgrade marijuana to a legal category that would allow it to be prescribed by doctors and obtained at pharmacies.

This is good news and bad news, however even if "pot" is downgraded to a legal category allowing it to be prescribed by doctors and obtained at pharmacies, who is going to grow it and who is to set and certify the quality standards to be "medicinal grade." For instance, I'd worry about who grows it, if any fertilizers are used, if any other chemicals being used, and do the growers let their dog or cat enter the "grow" area? Imagine vaporizing or ingesting animal urine or poison. Man... how things change!

lol, hippie, wanting organic pot only :)
I'd be freaked out about smoking pesticides and cat piss too though.
I can afford to be picky now. After all the research that has been done surrounding genetics, pesticides, welding, and prior illicit drug use, I figure I've got two of the four from the Navy, maybe one from my prior life, and one definite NO on the genetics. Why compound my life now when I can get the organic piss free "medical grade" medicine.
