The Black Market

It takes time to mastermind a centrally planned economy-

Board seeks additional time in crafting rules for legal pot

Step Saver:

Law enforcement resources should be used to go after individuals who are harming others- not for policing arbitrary pre-crime scenarios.

Background:

Washington I-502

Update:

After extensive meetings and hearings over many months time- The Black Market has ruled that sales of untaxed product will continue to move forward- just as in years past.

Probably even more than in years past because after the election- county prosecutors decided not to wait on meeting results involving Governor Gregoire & the federal government, Drug Czar approval, twelve months to plan rules on sales and retail infrastructure, etc.

Nov 2012-

Prosecutors in large and small counties in Washington are throwing out marijuana cases involving untaxed product that were pending prior to election day:

NORTH OLYMPIC PENINSULA — Pot enforcement put on hold for small amounts — except on federal lands

Clallam County dismissing charges

Another County Prosecutor throwing out current marijuana cases:

Whidbey officials gear up for new marijuana law

Add Clark County to the list:

Some local misdemeanor marijuana cases to be dismissed

Spokane County too:

UPDATE: Spokane County Dropping Some Marijuana Cases

Washington’s largest counties weigh in:

“The people have spoken through this initiative, and as a practical matter, I don’t think you could sell a simple marijuana case to a jury after this initiative passed.”

Three more counties make the call:
