Inslee sends US Attorney Holder letter detailing state's efforts on legal marijuana market
http://www.therepublic.com/view/story/a8f38f5e1737404ca4890f5c1ca0a5ec/WA--Legalizing-Marijuana-InsleeWashington state Gov. Jay Inslee sent U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder a letter this week detailing the efforts the state is taking as it moves forward with creating rules for a voter-approved legal market for marijuana.
Inslee wrote the "the world is watching" both Colorado and Washington as the two states implement last fall's votes that approved the recreational use of marijuana
"We intend to do it right," he wrote. The letter was sent Tuesday, but released by Inslee's office publicly on Thursday.
Voters in Washington state and Colorado in November approved measures legalizing the recreational use of the drug, allowing use by adults over 21 and the creation of state-licensed systems of growers, processors and retail stores that sell heavily taxed pot.
