regulation and legalization are impossible to do under the same initiative due to washington state’s very strict single issue rule. so we’ll legalize and let the state legislature come in and regulate soon thereafter. the public is smart enough to understand this.

I agree with John Williams. If you propose an initiative that has no regulation or taxation, and permits sales????. What are you guys thinking of? I don’t care how well you put this out there and how many people sign, I don’t think this bill has a snowball’s chance in hell of passing without something for the people of the state of Washington that don’t partake of this herb. Make it realistic if it’s not too late. Tax it like alcohol and build revenue for our state to help with schools and infrastructure. I believe this to be the only way to get this passed. It almost sounds like the designers of this initiative want it to fail, and take my word for it, it will go down in flames if no revenue for the non users is involved. We can’t throw this in people’s faces and tell them it’s too late for regulation. Regulation is the only avenue this bill has for success.

Let’s have marijuana sold at state liquor stores, put a lot of boot-leggers out of business, and pick up some additional revenue for the state of Washington.

they said no to 2401 and a statement was made that if it wasn’t passed it will be left to the people so lets show them lead butts how to make a law. with no taxes (i believe) they had their chance to tax it and regulate it their way now it will be out of their hands. YES!!!!
