the new jazz posted:There seems to be a decent deal of that in Seattle, as well. Apparently the atmosphere towards the legalization initiative was very hostile at, of all places, Seattle's Hempfest this year. The dispensaries and green doctors are fighting it so they can keep their profits on giving anyone with a loving backache a medical authorization. I don't think that it's a perfect law by any stretch of the imagination but it's a step in the right direction. If more people were willing to accept an imperfect law, we could work out the kinks later and lay the groundwork for other states to turn the tide against the demonstrable failure of prohibiton.

The federal government will try to stop both Washington and Colorado from implementing their new laws. That's half the point, to show the rest of the states the futility of continuing prohibition in the face of people realizing that marijuana is not some ridiculous evil and that no one needs to be imprisoned for possessing it. I can only hope that we continue the trend nationwide during the next couple of elections until the drug war has ended completely.

I come bearing what appears to be good news: http://reason.com/blog/2012/11/14/state-legislators-in-rhode-island-and-ma I can't help but feel good to see the beginning of the end for prohibition.

I guess I'm just being super optimistic because I'm already seeing a step in the right direction where I live, and I'm glad to hurriedly include other states into the mix.

Oregon residents are still required to pay sales tax in WA for items that will be consumed in the state of WA, although many retailers are pretty lax about it.
