I know I have read a few times in the forum about the State laws in Washington for medical marijuana usage. I pulled some very critical info out, but you can view even more details at the links listed below.
Hopefully, this helps some paranoid of the laws and for others overcome their fear of getting a card for the usage of medical marijuana. As for the topic of CPS and children, details explained in the law are very vague? It basically states if you are an adult with a minor around it and it seems that you have been irresponsible or some evidence can show of irresponsibility they can in the end take your children, but I would think you would have to be a fucking moron to have that happen to you if you operate your garden with a bit of maturity and know when to smoke your stuff.
How do I get medical marijuana? Can I buy it?
The law allows a qualifying patient or designated provider to grow medical marijuana. It is not legal to buy or sell it.
Are dispensaries legal?
No. The law does not allow dispensaries. The law only allows qualifying patients and designated providers to possess medical marijuana; the new law allows qualifying patients and designated providers to participate in collective gardens.
How much medical marijuana can I have?
A qualifying patient or designated provider may have a 60-day supply of medical marijuana. A 60-day supply is defined as 24 ounces and 15 plants under RCW 69.51A.040. The law says that a patient may exceed these limits if he or she can prove medical need. However, the law only allows for an affirmative defense (and not protection from arrest or prosecution) if the limit is exceeded and the patient is complying with the law.
