The welcome mat is out.
The federal message:
If you have ever smoked marijuana- you are not welcome here- forever:
“Saunders also said some people who answer honestly a customs officer’s question whether or not they’ve ever smoked marijuana could also be turned away from crossing the border forever, unless they apply for and receive a waiver.”
Washington State border tough on pot, despite new law
Though this is a federal issue- state governors and the senators and congresspeople we send to Washington DC are free to work to influence the federal government in this area.
At the state level:
Getting physical over Discover Pass rule costs state $45,000 at Fort Worden State Park
Hurry up and sell another $45,000 worth of Discover Passes and it’s all good.

Pretty soon I won’t be able to afford to go anywhere anymore. When my kids were little we used to go clam digging or just go the beach to play. I’m glad they aren’t little anymore. I doubt if I will ever pay to go to a beach or a park. I’ll miss some of the places I used to go.These days you’re apt to see a BP agent spying on you from behind a rock or a tree.
