Seattle Officials Want Private Pot Clubs, Home Delivery of Marijuana

June 12th

SEATTLE, WA — Seattle officials are recommending that Washington state authorize private marijuana clubs and examine allowing home delivery of cannabis as they work out rules for a recreational pot market, according to a letter sent to state regulators.

The recommendations sent by the Seattle city attorney with the blessing of the city’s mayor are among the hundreds received by the state’s Liquor Control Board before a Monday deadline for public comment on draft rules issued.

Voters in Washington state and Colorado in November became the first in the nation to approve taxing and regulating marijuana sales at the state level. Pot remains illegal under federal law, although it remains unclear whether the Obama administration will move to block the states from implementing their recreational markets.

Proposals for private pot clubs have been controversial in Washington state and Colorado, even while personal possession of the drug is already allowed in both states.

Seattle Police Chief Speaks at Pro-Marijuana Rally

May 12th

Jim Pugel

SEATTLE, WA —  In the wake of Washington’s historic  marijuana legalization measure last November, Seattle Police Department’s top cop,  Interim Chief Jim Pugel, spoke at the Cannabis Freedom March at Westlake Park on Saturday.

“We are not here to condemn it. We are not here to endorse it,” he said of marijuana use. “The police are here to make sure it is all done legally.”

Instead of fighting the voter approved measure, the Seattle Police Department have embraced the change, and are adapting to the new state law.

“We are public servants and we want to make sure what they voted for works,” Pugel added.

Pugel called on smokers to respect law enforcement and obey the law.

“Don’t use it in public, don’t provide to minors, buy only from lawful dispensaries,” he said.

Pugel added that the new law legalizing marijuana for adults made police officers’ jobs easier.

Several hundred people took part in Saturday’s “Cannabis Freedom March,” which was dubbed “A Funeral for Prohibition” by Seattle Hempfest organizers.

The annual march made its way from Volunteer Park to Westlake Center in Downtown Seattle.
