The legislature has managed to screw patients who are too weak to grow the plant themselves. The police now have the option of arresting caregivers that helped to grow marijuana plants and seizing the plants themselves. The Seattle Times reports:
Smith, for one, said the bill's failure to allow collective growing penalizes patients and caregivers who need to group together to afford the expenses involved in growing marijuana. Smith suffers from a host of medical problems, including AIDS, a stroke, colon cancer and kidney failure. He shares a "grow" but now worries about his caregiver being arrested.
Unbelievable. Sen. Kohl-Welles says she’s going to "keep working on it." She damned well better.
