US WA: Tacoma Rally Sends Washington State Law Back to the Hot Seat

Federal Way Mirror, 21 Oct 2010 – TACOMA RALLY SENDS WASHINGTON STATE LAW BACK TO THE HOT SEAT Washington state’s medical marijuana laws are back in the hot seat following a clash between Tacoma and its cannabis dispensaries. A rally with more than 300 medical marijuana advocates converged Oct. 19 at the Tacoma Municipal Building. The city’s Tax and Licenses manager had issued cease-and-desist letters last week, ordering eight medical marijuana dispensaries to shut down by Saturday. The letters cited illegal business practices by the dispensaries.
