State to postpone final rules for recreational pot

The Washington state Liquor Control Board staff is recommending that rules for a legal recreational pot system be postponed while they take additional time to consider public feedback.

Final rules were scheduled to be issued Wednesday by the agency, after approval by the three appointed board members. Agency spokesman Brian Smith said board members have indicated they’re agreeable to the delay.

“What we’re hearing is that no one is telling us to hurry up,” Smith said of public feedback.

The delay would still allow the board to meet its required deadline of having rules in place by Dec. 1. It would push back licensing of new pot merchants by about two months.

Pot entrepreneur John Davis said he and others want more clarity in the rules for retail store locations, especially around how to measure the 1,000-foot buffer between pot stores and venues, such as parks, frequented by youth. “It’s better to be good than quick,” Davis said of the delay.

Philip Dawdy, representing the Washington Cannabis Association, agreed, noting that the scarcity of potential store locations in Seattle and Tacoma were likely a concern for the legal system, which aims to undercut the black market and collect millions in tax revenues from state-sanctioned pot. ”Ultimately I think we’ll end up with a better quality product,” Dawdy said.

Alison Holcomb, primary author of the law, said the liquor board’s careful approach to rules is consistent with their actions to date.

Clarifying definitions, identifying the number and locations of retail stores, and limiting how much pot a licensee can have – called for by the new law — are some of the main revisions the board is looking at, Smith said.

Holcomb, criminal justice director for the ACLU of Washington, has urged the board to set caps that create different tiers — small, medium and large — for licensees. Holcomb says such caps would allow smaller operations. Without such caps, her concern is that economic forces would tend to favor large operations.

The state agency issued proposed rules July 3. It then took written public comments and held hearings last week around the state.

The revised schedule calls for the staff to come back to the board on Sept. 4 with a new round of rules. If accepted, the board will begin a six-week period of collecting more public input.

It would then vote to adopt the revised rules on Oct. 16 and they would become effective Nov. 16. The board would take license applications for 30 days, starting Nov. 18.

Seattle cops to deal Doritos and information at Hempfest

Seattle police will be handing out bags of Doritos at Hempfest on Saturday. They’ll also be busting people who break the state’s new pot law.



They’re calling it “Operation Orange Fingers.” Really.

Seattle police will hand out bags of Doritos at Hempfest on Saturday.

Police department spokesman Sgt. Sean Whitcomb confirmed the unusual duty, saying he and other officers will distribute one-ounce bags of nacho-cheese chips with educational information affixed to them about the state’s new legal pot law.

The bags also will contain a label with a link to the department’s “Marijwhatnow” FAQ, which explains that, yes, adults are now allowed to possess up to an ounce of weed, and that, no, you can’t get back the pot that cops might have seized before voters legalized recreational weed in last November’s election.

“A lot of people still have questions about the nuances of the law and 2013 is a year very much in transition for people who enjoy pot,” Whitcomb said.

Police are having some fun with the assignment.

“Please ignore maliciously false reports that we’re giving out Bugles at @seattlehempfest. We would never, ever do that,” the department tweeted Wednesday.

Oregon: Governor Signs Law Authorizing Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber today signed legislation, House Bill 3460, into law establishing regulations for the creation of state-licensed medical cannabis facilities.

The law tasks the Oregon Health Authority with crafting rules and regulations over the following nine months to govern the new statewide distribution system.

Oregon voters initially approved a statewide initiative in 1998 mandating state lawmakers to allow for physicians to authorize qualified patients to consume and grow cannabis. However, that law did not explicitly provide legal protections for outlets that wished to dispense the substance to authorized patients.

Presently, an estimated 200 unlicensed cannabis dispensing facilities are operating throughout the state. An estimated 57,000 Oregonians are registered with the state to consume cannabis for therapeutic purposes.

Arizona, Colorado, New Jersey, Maine, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington, DC now have licensed medical cannabis dispensaries up and running. (California dispensaries are not licensed by the state.) Similar dispensary outlets are in the process of opening in Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Nevada and New Hampshire.

Turkish bodybuilder... clutching bag of marijuana ...held party-for-one onboard Merkel's private jet

FULL TITLE: "Turkish bodybuilder dressed in his underpants and clutching bag of marijuana and ecstasy held party-for-one onboard Merkel's private jet"
A man wearing just his underpants and high on drugs managed to board an empty German government jet used by Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Clutching a bag full of marijuana and ecstasy pills, the 24-year-old danced on the wing of the plane, sprayed foam around and pushed buttons in the cockpit of the jet in Cologne Airport.
The bodybuilder, believed to be of Turkish descent and named only as Volkan T, even released the inflatable emergency slide of the Airbus 319 on July 25.
It took four hours for officials to remove the intruder from the plane...
Cologne state prosecutor Ulrich Bremer ruled out terrorism as a motive...
He then blagged his way past security claiming he was going to a wedding reception in the officers' quarters before climbing a barbed wire fence and climbing onto the plane's left wing.
While playing with the buttons in the cockpit, he triggered an alarm.
Merkel was only hundreds of kilometers away at the opening of the Wagner opera festival in Bayreuth...
