POT Here's the RCW for Legal Marijuana

Posted by on Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 4:35 PM

This is the new online RCW 69.50—the state's amended version of the Uniformed Controlled Substance Act—which now allows adults to possess marijuana and features stacks of directives for the state to regulate growing, processing and selling pot. Awesome work, Washington State.

I don't like 69.50.445 at all. "In view of the general public," does that mean I can't stand by a window with my marijuanas?

I have issues with rcw 69.50.505 concerning property seizure. It does not clearly identify licensed producers complying with state law shall be subject to seizure for any reason.

I also have a problem with rcw. 69.50.203 subjugating state aw to federal law and international treaty. Not excluding weed from this provides the Feds to use the excuse of, oh well we signed a treaty in 1961..

Penalty seems to be $50, if I'm reading it correctly. Meh ~ I doubt this will be enforced with any kind of zeal.

Also, it appears that this is the *new* sections, and that the amended sections have yet to be updated by the state.

Never mind me, I now see that there are two definitions section -- one for the old, and one for the definitions as amended. I much prefer the latter.
