There’s a pot plant growing in Lake City. It sits in a garden bed. On one side of it, three butternut-squash plants spread their vines. On the other side are the purple flowers of an Indian basil variety called tulsi.
If Lake City were in California or Colorado or Oregon or Alaska or Massachusetts or Vermont or Nevada, this lonely pot plant would be completely legal.
But Lake City is in Washington State, the only place in the country that legalized pot without giving adults the right to grow a couple of pot plants at home. Adults in the Evergreen State need to get approval from the state government to legally grow pot at home, and the owner of this pot plant has no such permit.
