I was surprised that the mayor announced his solution to the MMJ issue in Seattle this afternoon, after I posted my ideas on the subject. His approach seems quite lame to me, especially considering he announced his intention last week, held a hearing on Thursday, and released his solution today.
But it’s not about actual implementation, just a message to the legislature to do the job right. No one is going to be happy with what he proposes.
They had to deal with the 1000-foot rule, and did that by specifying a 500-foot rule (no stores within 500 feet of where children gather). State law says 1000 feet, and the feds seem to be satisfied with this, which pretty much makes it law. San Francisco is considering a 600-foot limit, but I don’t know where that is in their process.
The Seattle rules don’t seem to address the growing process at all, but that doesn’t matter. It’s a signal to the legislature to get it together or Seattle will start calling the shots.
Politics. All I want is a reliable grower that can produce Blue Dream at 26%……
