Now, if we can just get Bronco Bama to do something at that level...
Posted by GeezRilly?]]> Wed, 07 Nov 2012 13:21:20 -0800 Portland Mercury That statement depends on your definition of "small quantities," and on what the law allows, which I'm arguing should have been much different for it to be an effective and long-lasting set of reforms. What do you call medical-marijuana patients growing under the limit for their own use, mass production?

Unfortunately for the State of Washington, bad laws are rarely tweaked to become good ones. So, if California or Oregon passes optimal full-blown legalization without taxation, Washington citizens will be stuck with this model for many, many years. Just look at how long it took to repeal their liquor control measures.

Still, this is a very positive development. I'm shopping for retail space in Vancouver right now. I think my cafe's policy will be something along the lines of “This is a private business. You can use the shop’s vaporizers, but you have to bring your own weed. And if you're caught trading or selling weed here, we're kicking you out.” But, I still need to clear this up with a lawyer.

I added a note to the post that you also can't smoke pot in public or indoors in places where cigarettes are banned.
