15. The rats of WA state have made it easier to buy a gun and kill someone than to get mmj.

This in a place where it is so Democratic that people fart blue, and they put these corporate tools in charge. Thieving, lying assholes of the Weed and Liquor Control Board, owned by the corporations that want to make money from weed.

One of the staunchest advocates for patients here is a repub, who pointed a gun at a fella in a road rage incident. Such a nice fella that people paint swastikas on his campaign sign. Pro mmj, he had beaten every democratic challenger. Puts pictures of his Democratic candidates's house on his web site so his people can find it, if they want to. He's won at least twice that I remember.

For a few years it was very comfortable. Voters said the wanted mmj. People, as if they were respected adults, walked in with their heads up and got their meds. Now the weed control board has decided that adults can't do that. The lying hypocrites will let you walk into any recreational place and pay the gouged price they set after it is taxed 3 times - it's safe enough for them to pick your pocket, but they will leave you screaming in pain as a patient. It is now illegal to grow - at all - unless you give them your name and allow them to come out and inspect your home.

They are sending letters out now to the stores that have helped patients for years, telling them to close if they haven't go the corporate seal of approval.

It's too bad - they think they can simply pass laws by fiat, yet there are tens of thousands of grows out there, and the clowns at the board are too incompetent to do anything about it. They would have to inspect every closet in the state every 4 months. And I would bet
I'm not the only one who would sit through a trial and then simply find state unbelievable. Imagine what that is going to cost them., not to mention at the ballot box.

IDIOTS

They sure have fucked it up for real Democrats, but if that's how the party wants to be represented. I can't turn on people that haven't hurt me like that.
