"Overview of Liquor Control Board's process to develop recommendations on the interaction of recreational marijuana and medical marijuana laws."
Committe Chairman Chris Hurst, who refers to it as the "reconciliation" of medical and recreational marijuana, says, around the 30 minute remaining mark in the video, that: "I don't think there is one iota of difference between the word "untenable" (used by the Federal Prosecuter's in Wa State in their statements last week) and "illegal"........" "If you are selling marijuana today, it is just plain illegal"....... "It doesn't sound like the dispensaries are even on the periphery of something legitimate today"....."Now that we have a plan....with LCB of what to do with recreational marijuana we have to take a really hard look and say, do we really want to be competing with an enterprise that is probably 99 and 9/10% maybe not 99.9 but 99.2% is a criminal enterprise, which is what most of medical marijuana is...........and I don't believe can compete with the recreational market that the state of WA intends to be licensing very shortly."
