State Law I have yet to hear in all the endorsements for Initiative 502, the basic problem of federal law vs. state law. Medical marijuana has been legal in our state for a while now and it's a big mess because of the discrepancies in law. I believe that we should get the medical side squared away before we jump into legalizing recreational use. I seriously doubt that all this tax money is going to be realized for us, due to it being a controlled substance at the federal level. Nancy Roger, Langley - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
