Washington Moves Forward With Marijuana Legalization
Posted at 12:15 p.m. on Jan. 24
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee told the Seattle Times that his meeting with Attorney General Eric Holder “convinced him Washington state should continue making rules for a legal marijuana industry as mandated by voter-approved Initiative 502.”
“Inslee and state Attorney General Bob Ferguson met with Holder because of the conflict between federal law, which bans all marijuana, and the state’s law, which makes possession of an ounce of pot legal for those 21 and older.”
Said Inslee, “We went in thinking we should continue with rule-making and nothing I heard should dissuade us.”
