So the state writes code that provides an affirmative defense, while patients continue to live in fear of federal prosecution for the- "Medical use of marijuana" means the production, possession, or administration of marijuana, as defined in RCW 69.50.101(q), for the exclusive benefit of a qualifying patient in the treatment of his or her terminal or debilitating illness..."
Yet provides no clear code addressing the sale and or regulation of this medicine to patients unable to produce their own.
Good luck applying this to the patient network model that is facilitated through patient to patient donations.
The ever gray cloud over the Seattle MMJ seems to have just got bigger. Or should I say it appears everyone is burning trees out in WA these days.
What do you think would happen when something like the Washington Cannabis Association trade group starts earlier this month.

Patient networks co-ops start calling themselves dispensaries, and now the Dept of revenue would like to tax something that the state or federal law does not actually permit?
Please don't forget your still a federal criminal. See what happens when you pay that tax... let us know how it works out.
I'm sure the patients who can't afford to grow their own are going to love having this added to the cost of their meds
