Don't get me wrong crow......I am all for this and really hope it holds up..........If it does it may very well pave the way for the rest of the nation...........I was merely pointing out there are still a couple of potential potholes (get it pot-holes..........) that remain to be straddled

But for now this is a very big victory

"On election night, Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes said he’d spoken to Durkan on Tuesday and was assured — but not guaranteed — that the federal government “has no plans, except to talk.”

Holmes has said he believes the Justice Department will be reassured by the I-502′s tight regulatory control – no home-grows, sales of no more than an ounce, a ban on sales to people under 21, etc. – and will decide not to sue.

“We’re having really good conversations, but no promises,” Holmes said Tuesday night."

Do you know who the main opponent to this was/is............it’s not conservatives.........not the religious right..............instead it is.............wait for it............wait for it..............the medical marijuana industry

It's snus all over again............no promises = we'll get back to you after we talk to the pharmaceutical companies

Yes Snusdog, it was the medical marijuana industry. The pharmaceutical industry and the medical cannabis industry have no relation. If anything, they're rivals in the field of medicine.

... and why would they (DOJ) need to consult with Pharma anyways? This issue is not about medicine (that has already been decided and enacted by 17 states -- soon to be 18 states). You would think that the Federal government would have stepped in when Washington, Oregon, and California legalised medical cannabis in the late 90's. Instead, we see that the number of medical cannabis states are increasing each election cycle.

All I'm saying is... Don't be a pessimistic dog! Let's give this time!

Reading this thread has really made me want to listen to some Cypress Hill! lol

Liquor Board: It will take a year to set up rules for a marijuana sales system

The state Liquor Board is wasting no time getting on board with the newly passed marijuana initiative. Most notably: It will take a full year to create all the rules needed to set up a marijuana sales system in the state.

The Washington State Liquor Control Board (WSLCB) issued the following statement regarding the apparent passage of Initiative 502.

The Washington State Liquor Control Board will move forward to carry out the will of the voters who Tuesday passed Initiative 502.

I-502 establishes precedent for growing, processing, retailing and possessing marijuana. Essentially, a system will be built from the ground up. The initiative provides the WSLCB until December 1, 2013 to craft rules for implementation. We expect that it will take the full year to craft the necessary rules which will provide the framework for the new system. As we develop the rules we will keep in mind our top priority, public safety.

Questions remain ahead as we work to implement I-502. Chief among them is the issue that marijuana remains illegal at the federal level.

A fact sheet about how I-502 affects the WSLCB are posted on the agency website at http://liq.wa.gov
