The time bomb … uh … the clock is running for medical marijuana shops in Seattle. And a lot – maybe even more than ever (marijuana-wise) – is riding on the sagacious, elect few who’ve been chosen to guide our state and make its laws.
The punchline: The City of Seattle has rules on its books demanding that businesses engaged in “major marijuana activity” – growing more than 45 plants or having more than 72 ounces of usable marijuana on hand – get a license from the state.
The Catch-22: There is no such license to obtain for those businesses providing medical marijuana.
