The statute, which took effect on Friday, July 22, requires storefront dispensaries and other medical pot suppliers to reorganize themselves as small, cooperative ventures serving up to 10 patients.
These "collective gardens" are confined to growing 45 plants total but no more than 15 per person......

I think that means you have a min. of 3 people in your co op to grow 45.... if you have 2 you can grow 30??? It still to vague.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 403. (1) Qualifying patients may create and participate in collective gardens for the purpose of producing, processing, transporting, and delivering cannabis for medical use subject to the following conditions:
(a) No more than ten qualifying patients may participate in a single collective garden at any time;
(b) A collective garden may contain no more than fifteen plants per patient up to a total of forty-five plants;
(c) A collective garden may contain no more than twenty-four ounces

this is page 14 of the new legsilation

you are close, the collective gardens are defined as a max of 45 plants for 10 people, a cooperative can be a group of collective gardens, right now one guy in seattle is working on legislation to allow up to 675 plants in a single coooperative of coolective gardens, the part that makes the dispensary model work is that you have multiple caregivers, providing transfer to one patient at a time, these care givers cumulatively can have a shit ton of weed on hand,

you dont have to grow to be a caregiver, which is the most important thing in this law, that leaves it open for one caregiver to grow, one to deliver, and one to man the store front, cause the law does not specify whether you can transition from caregiver to caregiver over the course of a week or not, and if anyone has a problem with law "interpretation" just look at the transfer of "donations" come on, if that isnt the biggest joke of a way around the law, i dont know what is.

no, seattle recently decided vote of 8-0 to allow dispensaries under christina's new half vetoed bill as cooperatives, this is just the stance that seattle is taking on the law,

yes the new law lowers protections for dispensaries, but it does not outlaw them only forces them to become cooperative collections of collective gardens,

If the jurisdiction has 33 no commercial zones, the jurisdiction is not required to adopt zoning 34 to accommodate licensed dispensers.


HERE THE LAW SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT LOCAL OFFICIALS HAVE FULL AUTHORITY OVER DECIDING IF THEY WILL ALLOW DISPENSARIES, IN OTHER WORDS YOU APPLY FOR A LICENSE AND IF THEY GIVE YOU ONE, YOUR LEGAL!

once again you are pointing out a local jurisdictions decision on regulation, which is specifically stated as the local jurisdictions right.

once again your talking about interpretation of law at the local level, and federal pressure, cause if you actually took the time to talk to the people that run these dispensaries you would know that at least all the raids in spokane have included customs border patrol, or some other FEDERAL OVERSIGHT, gee maybe you should leave your computer sometime and see whats happening outside your commercial grow op sevenhourtolazytoworkarealjobsohestrynatakeadvangtageofothersforhisownbenefitsoheneverhastoworkarealworkweak.

And everyone of those has been led by the FEDS, Just like what happened in california, They legalized it and the FEDS tried to beat down everyone they could,

Once again any use or trade or growing or for any purpose is a FEDERAL CRIME! The FEDS have been trampling the right of the states to nullify any law that the state finds to be unfair, unjust, or just plain TARDED.

IF YOU CANT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FEDS AND YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF YOU ARE AN IDIOT AND SHOULDNT BE TALKING IN THE FIRST PLACE

Furthermore if you apply for a business license and you lie about what you are doing, that is fraud and punishable by jail time,

maybe you should read articles before pointing them out.

NONE of those were led by feds LOSER. You're such an idiot that you can't even read! That's why you think a caregiver can have more than one patient and dispensaries are legal. You can't read!

For people who can read: "LYNNWOOD, Wash. -- Owners of a medical marijuana dispensary that was raided Thursday night say police have it all wrong.
The Snohomish County Regional Drug Task Force raided BZB Medical Group, located in a Lynnwood shopping center..."

Then why is it that the busts in spokane where overseen by FEDS? And why is it that federal funds are used to direct the efforts of local law enforcement, by providing cash specifically for marijuana prosecution? Or did you think that state policy is not influenced by federal funds? Oh you assumed that local counties and towns can afford to support their own activities without receiving federal aid that is earmarked for specific police activities.
