Washington state is moving ahead with its plans to allow scientific research of marijuana, sidestepping federal rules that critics say have hampered study of the drug for decades.
The state has a new marijuana research license that will allow laboratories to grow marijuana for scientific study. State officials expect to start accepting applications for the new license by January.

Ping for your Interest.
If feds did not want this it wouldn’t be happening. Look at everything they take from us? They do it anytime they want....this one...not so much. Gotta keep them stoned.
It is on the list for the commine agenda. 45 on that list. they have them all now. Don’t give me grief about how pot is so good for med use. Just sayin’
OH I bet Gary Johnson would be good at this!!!
Do you side with WA or fedgov on this issue?
Until the states wise up and elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that the feds cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, the corrupt feds can always threaten to withhold federal funding from a state to stop research, such funding arguably stolen state revenues.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Do you like the original Commerce Clause, or do prefer the modern day Wickard Commerce Clause?
I’ll drink to that.

I stand on the side of our Constitution....
We have so many with cancer, crohns, lyme and seizures that this miraculous medicine can help. Let’s have all the research that we can get!
So which do you support, the original view of the Commerce Clause, or the modern day Wickard view?
Pot use and video games cut violent crime.
I told you Our Constitution, Not the modern view...what’s wrong in enforcing the rules our forefathers gave us...it got us through a lot, why not just continue with what we have...
You think Trump is going to waver from Our Constitution, Bill of Rights or Amendments? If you think that, your supporting the wrong person...
Agree 100%. Therefore, under the original Commerce Clause, fedgov has no authority over WA in this matter.
...it got us through a lot, why not just continue with what we have...
Did you mean to say => 'why not go back to what we had...'? Because what we have is Wickard, which is NOT the original Commerce Clause.
You think Trump is going to waver from Our Constitution, Bill of Rights or Amendments?
I have no idea why you would ask such a question in this discussion, but nevertheless, my answer is 'No'.
In the matter of pot, he supports medical marijuana and he respects the 10th Amendment right of the states to decide on legalization. Do you agree with Trump on this?
Why bother with nuclear medicine and bioinformatics when you can have potheads studying other potheads and get paid for it, in pot?
I'm not sure how I feel, just because Trump says he would look at it, doesn't mean, that I as a supporter of his have to agree with all his stances...on this one I am more inclined to say no...
So you support the Wickard Commerce Clause rather than the original Commerce Clause. Otherwise, you'd leave it to the States under the Tenth Amendment.
I have explained where I stand, that’s it...got it yet??????????????????????????????????????
