      <![CDATA[Sounds like the best solution would be for the state to permit current Medical Marijuana retailers to sell to the general public (21+) AND to allow former WSLCB stores to do the same.<br />
<br />
Both already restrict sales to adults.<br />
<br />
Oh, btw, both the UW and WSU have NOT changed their rules on MJ use on campus or in student housing. Not sure about NSCC, SCCC, SSCC, or BCC.

      <![CDATA[I think people are thinking in the wrong direction. If possession of a personal amount publicly is no longer illegal, forget distribution. Anyone who deserves they're high school diploma should be able to figure out a low maintainance, low heat "Sea of Green" setup that'll fit in all but the smallest studio apartment and be quite adequate to provide someone with a sizeable personal supply. As long as you are not distributing and never leave home with more than a personal amount, who'll ever be the wiser and what evidence will the fed have to charge you with no distribution chain? I'm a cyclist and a bus commuter so, I'll let the state Supreme Court work out the validity of blood tests that the psychopharmacologists can't agree on the accuracy and validity of( I also feel like they'll need some pretty water tight probable cause to forcibly shove a needle in your arm). But, as far as I'm concerned, I'm set. I think it'll be don't ask, don't tell until the state works it out. And that,realistically, could be a while, but I'm optimistic that, with support from state and local legislators, this distribution problem for the lazy and ignorant can be worked out in such a way that the fed would have to actively challenge the states right to insure the rights of its' people to do anything about it.

      <![CDATA[so, as a medicinal cannabis user, how does this change things for me? do i still get to grow my own? can i still have 24 ounces? and another concern, if anyone actually read the whole I-502, all of it, like i did, then, it looks like a lot of people might still be going to jail if you get pulled over and the cop thinks you're high. if you refuse a blood test, you will lose your license for a year. and if found guilty of DUI, the same punishment as driving under the influence of alcohol. <br>

      <![CDATA[@51: No, all studies have shown that active THC drops below criminal levels within a few hours i.e. once you're not high (it's the active THC that's making you high). That line you've heard is a lie, a misdirect put out by opponents of legal weed, or persons with a vested interest in semi-legal weed (e.g. owners/operators of medical dispensaries who are really little better than the black-market dealers who rely on prohibition for massive, unregulated profits - I'm not saying this applies to all operators/owners, I'm saying that the owners/operators who oppose legalization are this). They're being intentionally obscure, conflating THC metabolites with active THC, or just straight-up lying about what the studies have shown. Here's <i>The Stranger</i>'s article that links the relevant studies: <a href="http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2012/02/24/sorry-medical-marijuana-activists-your-study-doesnt-prove-that-i-502-will-nab-sober-drivers-for-duis/" rel="nofollow">http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archive&hellip;</a>

      <![CDATA[@52 My assumption of what will end up happening is you can probably get away with having up to about 2-3 ounces before an officer will have to at least confiscate the bag and/or issue a citation or make an arrest. There's no criminal law in the form of statute yet- so they won't blink unless you have an *obviously* illegal amount. There will be a few cases in the coming years of defense in the form of illegal search since they'd have to have probable cause to weigh the bag.

      <![CDATA[I think people are thinking in the wrong direction. If possession of a personal amount publicly is no longer illegal, forget distribution. Anyone who deserves they're high school diploma should be able to figure out a low maintainance, low heat "Sea of Green" setup that'll fit in all but the smallest studio apartment and be quite adequate to provide someone with a sizeable personal supply. As long as you are not distributing and never leave home with more than a personal amount, who'll ever be the wiser and what evidence will the fed have to charge you with no distribution chain? I'm a cyclist and a bus commuter so, I'll let the state Supreme Court work out the validity of blood tests that the psychopharmacologists can't agree on the accuracy and validity of( I also feel like they'll need some pretty water tight probable cause to forcibly shove a needle in your arm). But, as far as I'm concerned, I'm set. I think it'll be don't ask, don't tell until the state works it out. And that,realistically, could be a while, but I'm optimistic that, with support from state and local legislators, this distribution problem for the lazy and ignorant can be worked out in such a way that the fed would have to actively challenge the states right to insure the rights of its' people to do anything about it.

      <![CDATA[@38 you are on the wrong side of history bud. Gonna pity your regrettable situation when your progeny grows up and is embarrassed to know their parental figure had such an archaic mindset. They'll look at you like we look at senior citizens who are racists today.<br>
<br>
Clearly you have never seen an Oz. of weed either....most people aren't going to be carrying that big a bag around on them dumbass.<br>
<br>
@51 from what I understand, when it comes to blood tests, for the most part pot leaves your active bloodstream (its been absorbed beyond that by this point) in a matter of like 2-3 hours. So basically, just be responsible. Don't smoke if you have shit to go do, you can always roll a joint at the end of the day, or on a day you don't intend to need to drive anywhere. Or call a cab/friend. I hope people in these 2 states look out for the vested interest the other 48 states have in this (let alone the world) and remember to handle this freedom with a "Man up" attitude and don't end up DUI'ing, or violating the rules in other ways. We need you guys to show the feds that cannabis consumers can, and will, handle this long-sought freedom with the respect for the letter of the law in order to have our civil liberty with it.

      <![CDATA[@38 raises an interesting question.  How will a cop determine the weight of weed a person has in their possession?  They probably won't be carrying a scale.  Will they be left to eyeball it?<br />
<br />
It seems this will leave quite a lot of discretion to the officer.<br />
<br />
I guess we've pushed the ball forward with I-502.  But I'm not clear on just what sort of change we'll see in the near term.

      <![CDATA[I use marijuana for medical reasons and yet the duid law for blood testing is disconcerting if I drive, not saying I drive after smoking, but it could still come back 5ng mil from what I have read. There is no real answer that addresses this question.  We know how much is too much with drinking but not with marijuana.  I am now looking to have a lawyer on call should I be pulled over for something that gives cause to profile me.  Any comments to the question of how much long does one wait before driving. Just saying it is so confusing to want to be legal to drive.

      <![CDATA[Hmm.. maybe you can own one and have a CCW permit if you're using a controlled substance under the care of a physician but you can't purchase or receive a firearm or ammo. Not sure. Puking links and relevant text for reference:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2012-title27-vol3/xml/CFR-2012-title27-vol3-sec478-11.xml" rel="nofollow">http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2012-ti&hellip;</a><br />
Unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance. A person who uses a controlled substance and has lost the power of self-control with reference to the use of controlled substance; and any person who is a current user of a controlled substance in a manner other than as prescribed by a licensed physician. Such use is not limited to the use of drugs on a particular day, or within a matter of days or weeks before, but rather that the unlawful use has occurred recently enough to indicate that the individual is actively engaged in such conduct. A person may be an unlawful current user of a controlled substance even though the substance is not being used at the precise time the person seeks to acquire a firearm or receives or possesses a firearm. An inference of current use may be drawn from evidence of a recent use or possession of a controlled substance or a pattern of use or possession that reasonably covers the present time, e.g., a conviction for use or possession of a controlled substance within the past year; multiple arrests for such offenses within the past 5 years if the most recent arrest occurred within the past year; or persons found through a drug test to use a controlled substance unlawfully, provided that the test was administered within the past year. For a current or former member of the Armed Forces, an inference of current use may be drawn from recent disciplinary or other administrative action based on confirmed drug use, e.g., court-martial conviction, nonjudicial punishment, or an administrative discharge based on drug use or drug rehabilitation failure.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/legalized-pot-would-provide-no-pass-against-federal-gun-law" rel="nofollow">http://www.examiner.com/article/legalize&hellip;</a><br />
“As you know, Federal law, 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(3), prohibits any person who is an ‘unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance (as defined in Section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802)) “from shipping, transporting, receiving or possessing firearms or ammunition. Marijuana is listed in the Controlled Substances Act as a Schedule I controlled substance, and there are no exceptions in Federal law for marijuana purportedly used for medicinal purposes, even if such is sanctioned by State law. Further, federal law, 18 U.S.C. 922(d)(3), makes it unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance. As provided by 27 C.F.R. 478.11 “an inference of current use may be drawn from evidence of a recent use or possession of a controlled substance or a pattern of use or possession that reasonably covers the present time.”<br />
