5 Washington State Marijuana Laws or Rules That NEED to Change NOW

November 5, 2014 By Manic Conrad

5 Washington State Marijuana Laws or Rules That NEED to Change NOW

These 5 Marijuana Laws in Washington State Need to Change Sooner Than Later.

UPDATED: (This article has been updated based on some great feedback within the cannabis industry. Thank you Hillary Bricken for your ideas on 4 & 5)

Washington State marijuana legalization was SO two years ago but despite this, we still have a long way to go. And I’m not talking about the fact that Seattle still only has four legal marijuana retail shops – but you can throw that in there if you like as well.

In our opinions, there are 3 Washington State marijuana laws or regulations that need to change to not only exercise a bit more freedoms and stay relevant with the evolution of an industry, but because it just makes sense. A marijuana advocate might argue that all of the following could help make marijuana easily accessible to those who require help medical marijuana or would help lessen the stigma marijuana has cultivated in the past.

1. Allow Recreational Marijuana Delivery

What’s better than having a smoking hot cheesy pepperoni pizza delivered to your door? Marijuana. For a couple years now you can pick up the phone, dial a number, talk to some mysterious person on the other end, and before you know it – or hours later, depending on how busy they were, you could have a treat at your doorstep. Grey Area beauty at its’ finest. If our friends over the border can shop marijuana online, then why can’t we? This is the land of the free isn’t it? Things are changing all over the world now, there are so many other things that people can get, such as things like these Art Glass Express avocados. Why should some people be allowed to buy this product and others not?

Those days are not gone as there are some local Seattle weed delivery services that still operate despite regulations against it, such as cult favorites Club Raccoons. But we have to admit, it’s just not the same without local national hero Winterlife Cooperative, ever since they became legit and in the process of readying their product for legal retail shops.

First, and foremost, bring back the grey-area recreational marijuana industry but make it legit. Not only would it be convenient to have an industry of cannabis couriers delivering their fine product, but the tax dollars for the city will be off the hook! And residents of cannabis starved neighborhoods such as Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, University District and Downtown won’t have to go on expeditions searching for legal marijuana.

2. Allow Marijuana Bars, Safe Spaces, or Amsterdam Style Coffeeshops

This is a no brainer. As of now, there aren’t many places where one can legally consume marijuana. Most people have to order online and have their marijuana packages delivered from companies such as Bongsmart and enjoy them on their own. And because of this, more and more people are just saying fuck it, and lighting up on the streets. After all, the fine is petty. And if your are so unlucky that you do get a ticket, there’s always a chance it could get thrown out.

Allow marijuana bars, safe spaces like they have in Vancouver, B.C., or Amsterdam style coffee shops, so adults would be able to have a place to go, enjoy themselves, and have a toke. Not only would this give adults in Washington State a place to go, but it would also help the city regulate public consumption of marijuana.

3. Allow Us to Grow Plants, Dammit!

In Colorado, you can legally grow plants in your home. In Washington State you can’t. We are going to be like that brat during the holidays that didn’t get the gift that their friend or sibling received, and demand we get it too. Not only this would extend our freedoms, but adults to grow plants – and even gift it to their friends – could help eliminate some of the black market.

For more information, check out these rules or regulations set by the Washington State Liquor Control Board.

4. Add More Storefronts

Once all 27 recreational marijuana shops open in Seattle, we will defiantly be better off than we are today with only four. But still, 27 legal marijuana shops serving the city of Seattle is such a small number, especially when you compare this number with the number of pot shops in Amsterdam, or even Denver, Colorado. If our #2 suggestion was implemented, maybe this would help out overall.

5. Lower Taxes

Ah yes, the high price of recreational marijuana. One complaint we have heard more than any other is how damn expensive legal marijuana is. Much more expensive than medical marijuana and the black market. One reason for that are the high retail taxes. Lower the taxes and the black market will have less leverage.

What do you think of these Washington State marijuana laws or regulations that need to change now? Would you take away add anything to the list?

Seahawks and Weed: It’s Everywhere

Seahawks and Weed: It’s Everywhere

After tonight, we will be more than halfway done with the painfully long NFL preseason. And to celebrate, why not an article about them Seahawks!

Not sure the commissioner is all that excited about marijuana being associated with the NFL, but if it further publicizes the organization and brings in more money, how could he really care?

If you have not noticed, ever since the legalization of marijuana in Washington State, and especially ever since the Stoner Bowl against the Denver Broncos, Seahawks and weed have been everywhere: on t-shirts, stickers and even painted on the side of a bus!

Here are a few photos we dug up for your viewing pleasure…

Do The Math: Is This Seattle Marijuana Delivery Service Raking in $50,000 A Day?

July 16, 2014 By Manic Conrad

Do The Math: Is This Seattle Marijuana Delivery Service Raking in $50,000 A Day?

UPDATE: marijuana delivery services are no longer allowed but you can purchase legally at Seattle marijuana stores. Winterlife Coop is no longer in operation and has converted to a recreational producer known as Winterlife Cannabis.

 

Another article about the Winterlife Cooperative, a Seattle marijuana delivery service, this time with a little more transparency. According to KomoNews.com, Winterlife employs roughly 50 individuals, about 30 of them are delivery drivers. In addition, the operators answer 400-600 delivery call per day.

Say what!?

The minimum order for marijuana delivery from Winterlife is $50. We know that not everyone is going to just pay the minimum. Especially since, many of the prepackaged 7 gram packages sell between $80-100. But let’s be conservative and say that everyone who orders spends $75 on average. And let’s make the number of daily calls 500, the average of 400-600. Conservatively, they could be raking in $37,500 per day.

But, we think the average amount each customer spends is closer to $100. If we were correct, Winterlife could be pulling in  whopping $50,000 a day!

Cannabis City Opens, Makes History

Cannabis City Opens, Makes History

UPDATE: You can find Cannabis City listed here with other marijuana stores in Seattle.

 

With a countdown from 10, the Seattle recreational marijuana retail industry was born, as Cannabis City became the cities’ first marijuana store.  Hundreds upon hundreds of spectators sweated the sun and heat to be a witness to history. A Grandmother who spent the night in a sleeping bag was first in line, and another soon-to-be customer paid $200 to be take the number fifth spot in line.

While Cannabis City was the first Seattle store top sell marijuana, Bellingham’s Top Shelf was the first marijuana store in Washington State to make a sale. Interestingly, a Kansas man – not a resident – was the State’s first customer.

With only a small supply, is it a matter of time before Cannabis City sells out of it’s supply?

Tacoma’s ‘Rainier’ Grand Opening Delayed a Week

Tacoma’s ‘Rainier’ Grand Opening Delayed a Week

Tacoma’s Rainier on Pine recreational pot shop will now have to wait until next week before their grand opening. According to Apache6, Rainier’s security team, the ‘processors will not have the product ready in time.’

If you made plans to be at the grand opening at 10am on Tuesday, you can change them to the Seattle grand opening of Cannabis City at noon. Just expect a lot more people and no guarantee you will be able to buy any product before they sell out.
