Hello, I know Washington was having a hearing similar to californias yesterday, well I just got off work been looking forward to seeing good news but it seems norml hasn't updated. I went to norml site and they had a link to the hearing that already took place but didn't provide updates... Any news would be appriciated, thanks.
There's two bills in wa state 1177 is to decrim 2401 is to legalize and tax Both were debated today, and the room in the legislature was absolutely jam packed. Support for this thing was huge. Heads of large organizations like the ACLU, Bar association, medical association, etc and many representatives testified in favor. Some were against. 1177 seemed to be gaining more traction than 2401. There is a legalization initative that was started up in WA also. It's being done for the ballot this November. This IMO has the best chance of passing. Everyone needs to volunteer to get people's signatures. Look for sensiblewashington.org to come up soon.
I have to say...best of luck to you all out west...me being in the south? I'll be dead before the bible belt legalizes. The Fed could legalize it and alabama would make it illegal just for spite. I swear if the south had not run out of beans and bullets they'd still be fighting >.<
