US WA: State Changes Definition Of Pot

Seattle Times, 02 May 2013 – Washington finalized swift changes to the state’s definition of marijuana Wednesday after prosecutors and crime-lab scientists expressed concern about the technical aspects of a voter approved legalization initiative. Gov. Jay Inslee approved the revision, which also was supported by the Seattle lawyer who drafted the initiative that legalized recreational marijuana last year. The bill was first submitted in the Legislature just a week ago, and lawmakers in both chambers quickly moved it to the governor’s desk.
