Washington Lawmakers Say Leave Their Medicine Alone
October 6th, 2008 by Perry
Washington lawmakers are showing the kind of initiative rarely seen in state capitols, the kind we like to see here at tFS. Just would like to quickly say, my hat’s off to you, Washingtonians.
To clear up any confusion, and ostensibly to reduce prosecutions, state legislators have clarified what constitutes a “60-day supply,” the legal amount you can have in the state.
So what’s the limit?
24 ounces and 15 plants, mature or immature, is the rule.
One legal commentator said the limit was made so high because lawmakers wanted to make sure it was known prosecution of such cases were not a priority, adding:
We’re not going to prosecute you if you have 15 plants or 30. If somebody is legitimately ill, we’re not going to prosecute that case, period.
Relief to the ill, what a marvelous concept.
