Save Medical Cannabis
The State of Washington shall not revoke or limit the current collective garden model under RCW 69.51(a) until proper cannabis dispensary language is not only established but active, which will allow access to patients within Washington state their medical cannabis tax free. Once this language is established, collective garden size shall be flexible from patient to patient based solely on the opinion of the patients physician.
Why is this important?
I believe in the civil freedom to choose my medicine. I have seen many patients quality of life improve from cannabis, and bring them peace before they have passed on. Conventional pharmaceuticals are not right for everyone, so everyone should not be forced to use what is not best for them as medicine because it is accepted as a social norm. I believe cannabis is a much more healthy and less expensive health care option for many, and should be readily available while our legislature makes up their minds of what to do with patients now that I-502 has began implementation so patients do not have to suffer and potentially die in the mean time.
