They don't have the time, resources, desire, or overall ability to fuck with people who want to smoke some weed and hang out with their friends. Don't waste your anxiety. If the local authorities are going to leave you alone, the federal government sure as hell isn't going to mess with you.

Just to throw out there is a $1000 fine for individuals or businesses that light up in public spaces. Public smoking is still illegal. There will be no pot cafes. There will be no testing out different strains in the store or whatever.

Read the bill. It's a good read.

As for opening a cafe, you'll have to see what rules and procedures the WSLCB come up with. They have until December 1, 2013 to write the rules.

@6 - If your property is open to the general public, you still face the issue. If somebody comes into your home and smokes weed they brought themselves, no law is broken though.

@8 - Wrong. "'Deliver'...means the actual or constructive transfer from one person to another...whether or not there is an agency relationship." You can't sell it or give it away.

@16 - The officer needs to have probable cause to pull you over in the first place. If your driving is not impaired, and your ability to communicate with an officer who pulls you over for some other reason is not impaired, why are you being asked to take a blood test?

@21 - Again, you'll have to wait until the WSLCB writes the rules.

@22/23 - Again, no consumption in view of the general public. You could still get busted eating a brownie at a bar, though it's unlikely. The bar can get in HUGE trouble for selling you that brownie though. One thing the law does say already is that no establishment will be licensed to both dispense alcohol and marijuana.

You can definitely eat your (within legislatively proscribed potency) edibles anywhere*, but at present, if you buy those edibles from someone else, or use your own personally-grown ingredients to produce them, then you're still in State limbo, and also exposing yourself to National law in ways that the ballot initiative sponsors have to date been rather reluctant to defend. Which, please remember, requires, yes, requires state oversight and taxation. Which is still illegal and punishable, according to federal law.

* so long as you're not still carrying more than the legal limit of cannaboid product, after you're done with your eating. Or smoking. Or topical application. Or vaporization. Actually it's kind of pathetic that our local brownie-bakers and lolipop-vendors think they're somehow excluded from very specific, detailed limits described in the legislation we all just voted for.

The law, municipal, state, or federal, does not make much distinction between possession and consumption. Because, if you actually stop and think about it, it's not a legally useful distinction.

But the difficult distinction here is not between possession and consumption, but rather between sale and possession.

After Dec. 6, you're not going to get busted for eating a brownie in a bar. But it seems pretty likely that your bar can still be busted (by the National Fed Law Enforcement Guys, if they feel so inclined) for selling you a brownie.

You get it yet, or are you still too baked?

Anyone know anything about the legality of edibles in a hash bar environment? Is on-premise consumption allowed at all?

Ah yes, the "federal police".

As for the DUI issue, my perfect world would be where people will be judged _on their ability to safety operate a motor-vehicle_. Pot is not alcohol, and it affects everyone differently. Some people won't be able to drive high and others will be able to drive even better. (based on studies) More studies are needed too..

What people need to guard and legislate against, is officers using smell as probable-cause to force a blood draw when there's no evidence for impairment, or even consumption, ie: when pulled over for a simple tail-light-out, or at a speed-trap, etc..

Time will reveal how law-enforcement all around Washington will take this law. Holding them accountable will be important - it's not quite over yet, but this was a huge step.
Cheers! Keep up the great work!

For the under 21s all the laws remain the same, not just the driving laws. Pot busts can make you ineligible for federal student aid of any kind. It is not a joke. We have to wait and see whether police attention toward that age group increases.

I know you needed to attack the dispensaries as the easiest enemy, but this vote wasn't easy for other reasons.
