US WA: Hempfest Naturopath’s Pot Authorization Leads To State Suspension

Seattle Times, 08 Nov 2012 – A naturopath lost her license to practice medicine for two years for improperly doling out medical-marijuana authorizations at last year’s Hempfest in Seattle. If Carolyn Lee Bearss wants her credentials reinstated, she must also pay a $50,000 fine — higher than the typical fine due to the egregiousness of the conduct, said Department of Health spokesman Tim Church.
