Public 'OPPORTUNITY FOR INPUT' Regarding Medical Cannabis
Washington Department of Health
Friday 2pm - 4:00pm Full Meeting Info Link
Nov 20 Educational Services District 113
6005 Tyee Drive SW
Tumwater, WA 98512 Proposed Descheduling Text
FIRST, OFFICIAL TESTIMONY
From Monday, November 16, 2015
Seattle City Hall | LCB 2:30 Minutes Per Person | 150+ People Present
Simply put, messengers were present; Patients sick and now healed by cannabis, business people of large and small organizations, union forces and others articulated how the LCB laws and rulings are at the least petty, to most commonly similar to navigating medieval torture. It has turned people into state and federal criminals. This is even before requiring people to become part of a registry, unlike any other drug including deadly opioids. Cannabis is a non-toxic plant. It has never killed anybody unlike all the other opioids (oxy's, methadol, morphines) that are being handed-out by big Pharma like candy.
--------
Patients have been thrown under the bus. What is part of the Answer? True de-scheduling must occur. The list of problems is long including corruption of the LCB and DOH. Let's talk transparency. Recent Olympian Newspaper articles have cited Washington's integrity grade falling to a D. People spoke of selective commercialization, big businesses squeezing out minorities in particular just as they have done for years with liquor licenses.
Let's be clear; the Liquor Control Board should have nothing to do with medical anything, NOTHING.
Nor should the Department of Health (DOH) with a one and a half person self-admitted, assigned staff who have NO medical training let alone have not read even a modicum of research on cannabis. (Neither is there non-commercial patient representation for questions.)
Why? Beyond ineptitude with medieval levels of bureaucracy of which others have spoken, they are BOTH CORRUPT. (Too many links to insert here.)
They are corrupt! Public records requests have shown both the DOH & LCB engaging in secret meetings with law enforcement, multiple lawsuits have been settled out of court, continuing new suits including a R.I.C.O. (Racketeering) case - see Biers vs. LCB filed by a former prosecutor which names the LCB in its official capacities, individual members of the board along with big business and a questionable insurance agency all further behind the legislative changes in the past Washington state session. See 420 Leaks.com for further information and source documents.
Finally, the rules of the market system are still at play. One cannot evade basic economic forces thus, the true 'black market' has made a resurgence as outlined by others this evening. And Oregon continues to post record sales of cannabis by comparison with a more reasonable, yet still problematic system. These factors along with national lawsuits redefining health freedom will play out over time with Washington continuing to lose ground. The state's 'legalization of cannabis' has become a further laughing stock.
A true solution is REAL Descheduling. It MUST occur for patients, people and a free market system. Crime, the black market and grievous harm will continue to escalate otherwise. TRUE DESCHEDULING MUST OCCUR!
Proposed 'Descheduling'
DOH | 2pm-4pm | Friday November 20, 2015
Show Up! Again, find the source document and READ IT HERE. Why? Be sure to note page two (2) option number three (3) outlining how the 'De-scheduling' will STILL REQUIRE OBEYING the NEW 5052 Registry and ALL other including NEW egregious Laws! Thus, HOW is it 'de-scheduling'? Including if it provides NO ADDITIONAL prosecution protection for people and patients? NOTHING changes except a term. This is practically a textbook definition of BUREAUCRACY.
SPECIFIC QUOTES:
"...when used within the parameters of I-502 and SB 5052; all other use would still be illegal."
"...only be true for people following all rules for growing, processing, selling, possession and use under I- 502, SB 5052 and chapter 69.51A RCW."
"New penalties would have to be created in law to address violations of I-502, SB 5052 and chapter 69.51A RCW." (Which further contradict as well.)
"Though not in compliance with federal law, Washington State could potentially create and maintain a tightly regulated system that focuses on the federal government’s enforcement priorities."
Oh Gee, MORE BYZANTINE LAWS! Just what has worked *So well* to date! It was attested to again by over 150 people at just ONE local meeting from several around the state!
And with that, it's best to perhaps end w/ the above subheadline fart euphemisms. It is seemingly much more appropriate than the 'proposals' by the Washington DOH and LCB. MEME TIME!
