Fresh Concerns Over Medical Marijuana Following Violence In Washington
While some states allow dispensaries or cafes, most medical marijuana in Washington is distributed from private homes or small offices that are supposed to grow or stock only a certain amount of the drug and serve only one patient at a time, wrote William Yardley in New York Times.
State Senator Jeanne Kohl-Welles, a Democrat from Seattle who has pushed to ease sanctions on marijuana use, says growers face dangers both of being robbed and of how they will be treated by the police.
She and another lawmaker are promising to introduce legislation next year to protect access to medical marijuana and also protect those who grow it.
But a bigger issue is how to deal with those who misuse the permission given on medical grounds.
Some advocates for legalizing marijuana in general say that medical growers hurt their efforts by not working within legal limits and also by not building a relationship with the police.

Going only half way with the MJ legalization issue, MMJ, causes issues like this where 'legal' MMJ growers become a victim of non-patient users and authorities as well. I'm betting that the right is counting on this to create a 'I told you so' situation. Full legalization is the only answer to making MJ a non-issue completely. Though you may say that alcohol is legal but is still a problem, MJ is not chemically addictive, doesn't impair your abilities beyond self control, and isn't harmful to your health [vaporized]. It's therapeutic and helps to fight cancerous tumors and other ailments usually treated by legal pharma drugs far worse and addictive than anything a street dealer will sell you. Stop being influenced by 50's era refer madness propaganda and start fighting for our civil liberties and human rights. Everybody should have the right to happiness and nobody should have the right to take it away. How dare someone tell me I can not partake of what nature offers, aren't we all nature.
