I’m watching bill filings in the legislature for cannabis topics, which is entertaining when some really crazy stuff comes in. Every session someone files to split Eastern WA into a new state, for instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I laughed when I saw a bill to limit the THC in concentrates to 10%. I laughed until I realized that when a bill gets filed, it’s for real and has to be dealt with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regular flower runs about 14-24% THC. Concentrates (the plant material has been removed) run anywhere from 30-90%. I could think of about 2 dozen reasons why this proposal is bad, local reporters have come up with several more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If passed, an instantaneous illicit unregulated market will come into existence to meet the now established market demand. Or, buyers will go to neighboring states to buy. Or, people will revert to pre-legalization methods and create their own in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This illustrates where some of our lawmakers are on the marijuana-knowledge line. You’d think in this state they all would have learned “Prohibition doesn’t work”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s a public hearing tomorrow. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
