Washington Sets 60-Day Limit on Medical Marijuana Supply to 1.5 Pounds

Leave the sick alone with thier plants. Ya know, when America was first founded HEMP was used commonly. Further, Mary Jane was used as well, until somewhere along the line the fed govt figured it could not make any money on the stuff, and outlawed it. Govt boondoggles continue to this day......sheez.

Unnless we're talking shwag here, 1.5 pounds is more than enough for 60 days. That would last me at least a few months

"... until somewhere along the line the fed govt figured it could not make any money on the stuff, and outlawed it. "

Actually it was outlawed over an immigration issue, we wanted cheap labor and then didn't want them here afterward.

The saddest part is the people it was intended to keep out are still here, and then we wont even get into the comparisons with alcohol or tobacco, they need to just legalize it again and at most tax it.

It will never be legalized because it would drop the street price down way too much, and those who sell it won't like that too much.

That and anyone can grow it, which creates a disadvantage to the cigarette makers and it would make it hard to tax it.

Cannabis will never be legalized is the same as people back in the day saying women will never vote, blacks will never vote, etc. It is only a matter of time my friend.

1.5 lbs of pot every 2 months.

who may be more familiar with an "eighth" or 3.5g at a time, this is the equivalent of 194 of these purchases within 2 months.

About 190 more than I get in the same time frame. Holy god.

Amen to that. A pound would last me easily 16 months.

Sorry Pal!But do you suffer from Chronic pain at all, im not talking about a migrane headache or a stubbed toe. I was hit head on by a drunken woman driver being chased by the cops in her sporty car whilst i was riding my motorcycle in 1981, i suffered severe multiple brakes in both legs, my right one actually came off just above the knee, 2 massive cracks of the pelvis and dislocated hip, broken left shoulder, a cracked skull with deep brusing to the brain, broken cheek bone and numerous teeth dislodged and oh my clutch lever through my right ankle.I take a few different medications at the moment the worst of them being endone(an opiate)for chronic pain in my limbs, Imipramine for nerve pain and have a neuro stimulator implant buried into my spine to help control pain. I wish the Australian Government would adopt a policy such as washingtons as having pot has the most benefit for pain control than either or all of the current treatments i take. Because Marijuana is looked at as an evil drug in australia it is illegal and the penalties are very harsh, even for posessing a joint. I think the people and government of washington should be applauded for their sensible approach to this little wonder herb as it costs so much to buy here and can easily cost upto $5,000 australian per pound, if you were caught with that amount of pot in your posession or were sprung growing it in sydney you do jail time regardless whether or not its for medical reasons. Doctors in Australia are too scared to challenge the authorities and it's the drug companys that keep it illegal, after all if it were de-criminalized the drug companys would not be as profitable and their sales would drop, they even tell the medical association that their is no evedence to support advocates claims that it is beneficial for chronic pain sufferers, Yet ask the pain sufferers themselves and they all agree that it helps and a lot better than conventional medications.. thanx for the story caution2 *****
