Gregoire says she will not allow state workers to license marijuana dispensaries, because possessing or selling marijuana is a violation of federal law.

Charles Wright, the owner of THC Pharmacy has rethought things in the wake of the raid on his dispensary. On Thursday he vowed to sell marijuana again, saying patients needed it and he was going to take a stand. On Friday he changed his tune, saying he was permanently closing his store.

3. Shortsighted, dysfunctional, draconian and asinine federal drug policies are damning the nation.

It's all an endless waste of precious resources, time and energy which could be better served elsewhere,.

The current federal policy breeds corruption and I believe by criminalizing the American People, contributes to global warming as well.

Thanks for the thread,
