You won’t see many states legalizing medical marijuana after the WA State experience. It is not the first step to a legal marijuana industry.
What has happened in WA is that people would rather buy the untaxed, home grown weed on the Black Market from the licensed medical growers. The Commercial growers are losing money. They called in the Feds to do a little asset forfeiture for them, but now I read that Holder says that the feds are out of the asset forfeiture business.

Yeah, I heard a story about that on the news the other night. I didn’t see it mentioned here on FR, although I’m sure it was. If nothing else, dismantling the asset forfeiture scam would be a good thing to come out of the Obama/Holder regime.
Oregon and Alaska followed Washington in November.
