Lowest Police Priority: 6 WA Cities May Have Cannabis Initiatives

By Steve Elliott ~alapoet~ on March 10, 2012 Legislation, News

Washington state legalization group Sensible Washington announced earlier this year that they would be running local, city-wide initiatives in 2012. Last month the group declared Spokane its first city. Now, just days away from filing, the group has announced the next five cities where they’ll be running initiatives:

• Everett

• Olympia

• Bremerton

• Kent

• Bellingham

According to Sensible Washington, these initiatives will combine making adult cannabis offenses the lowest law-enforcement priority, and prohibiting cooperation of local law enforcement with federal authorities in marijuana enforcement.

Medical marijuana patients are concerned about the DUI provision in legalization initiative I-502, which they say would effectively criminalize most driving by patients

Initiative Filed By Patients and Concerned Citizens’ Group

An initiative to the people of Washington state regarding cannabis for patients and hemp for farming was filed Friday at the State Elections Office. A group of patients and other concerned citizens filed the petition in response to concerns over I-502, a decriminalization initiative that threatens the driving privileges of every long-term cannabis user and fails to address hemp for farming.

Medical marijuana patients and advocates are concerned about the DUI provision in legalization initiative I-502, which they say would effectively criminalize most driving by patients. I-502 would include a five nanogram per milliliter (5 ng/ml) THC blood level as per se proof of driving under the influence of cannabis.

Two volunteers from marijuana legalization group Sensible Washington have been driving an RV dubbed “the CannaBus” across the state this week to gather signatures and rally support for I-1149, a ballot initiative that would remove all criminal penalties for adult cannabis offenses.

From Thursday, May 19 through Sunday morning, May 22, volunteers Mimi Meiwes and Tricia Rogers, along with the CannaBus, will be in Spokane, where new raids this week by Spokane Police and federal agents have left even more medical cannabis patients without safe access to the medicine their doctors have authorized.
