those in power, in the legal state of WA, so they can sell it in their stores. They don't care about sick people here as much as they do revenue.

Had to do with the latest change in laws to help out Microsoft and their other corporate donors that are moving into the field. I guess the state figures it can get fees from black and poor folks in jail, the rest can pay their usurious taxes.

These bastards hurt a lot of people, blocked access to their meds and are still arresting black folks in Seattle.

It won't be forgotten when they send out the ballots. Somebody asked how best to get votes the other day. The answer is always the same - quit asking for help and start offering some.

How Washington State Screwed Over Its Medical Marijuana Dispensaries - AND PATIENTS

Patients worry that the recreational market doesn't have enough medicinal cannabis for their needs and that what is available is not affordable. Many point to the fact that the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (WSLCB) issued only 222 new retail licenses to replace more than 1,500 medical marijuana dispensaries.

But there's another aspect that should trouble patients, though few may know about it. Thanks to a loophole in the state's licensing process, many longtime dispensary operations were shut out of the recreational market. New actors were able to game the system by buying pay stubs from former medical marijuana dispensary employees in order to bolster their applications.

"[The state was] supposed to create new licenses to move over the [medical marijuana] system so that the patients could be served," said John Davis, owner of the Northwest Patient Resource Center, who applied for but did not receive an I-502 license. "That's not what they did. They were just giving licenses to people who were scamming the system."
