basically, the mmj law in washington only has a affirmative defense now. which means locals can ban marijuana again. i guess this is only the appeals court, maybe it will do better in supreme court of washington?

 

Washington's weed woes began to make political headlines back around 2011, when the state legislature passed a law intended to legalize and regulate medical marijuana use in the state once and for all. The bill would have mandated all medical marijuana users to sign up for a state registry, and among other caveats, it would have specifically allowed "qualifying patients" to "create and participate in collective gardens for the purpose of producing, processing, transporting, and delivering cannabis for medical use".

The state's governor at the time, Christine Gregoire, cut out half of the bill's measures by way of veto, slashing the proposed registration program, but leaving the language about collective gardens unscathed.

 some may say that is all we have here in Michigan is a affirmative defense i still believe in Law 1 of 2008 and will keep

far as the way they think up in Lansing

Yes each case has its own complications or factors i alway tell people to get your card and stay within your plant count and don't get caught is your best defense
