Bellingham, WA, Washington

Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 2

Legislation: A majority of Washington citizens voted in favor of medical marijuana in November 1998. “Fifty-nine percent of voters approved Measure 692 on November 3, 1998. The law took effect on that day. It removes state-level criminal penalties on the use, possession and cultivation of marijuana by patients who possess “valid documentation” from their physician affirming that he or she suffers from a debilitating condition and that the “potential benefits of the medical use of marijuana would likely outweigh the health risks.” Patients diagnosed with the following illnesses are afforded legal protection under this act: cachexia; cancer; HIV or AIDS; epilepsy; glaucoma; intractable pain (defined as pain unrelieved by standard treatment or medications); and multiple sclerosis. Other conditions are subject to approval by the Washington Board of Health. Patients (or their primary caregivers) may legally possess or cultivate no more than a 60-day supply of marijuan

a. The law does not establish a state-run patient registry.

AMENDMENTS: Yes.

Senate Bill 6032, which takes effect on July 22, 2007, mandates the Department of Health to “adopt rules defining the quantity of marijuana that could reasonably be presumed to be a sixty-day supply for qualifying patients.” The Department is instructed to report its findings to the legislature by July 1, 2008.

Patients who possess larger quantities of cannabis than those approved by the Department will continue to receive legal protection under the law if they present evidence indicating that they require such amounts to adequately treat their qualifying medical condition.

Senate Bill 6032 also affirms changes previously recommended by the state’s Medical Quality Assurance Commission to expand the state’s list of qualifying conditions to include Crohn’s disease, hepatitis c, and any “diseases, including anorexia, which results in nausea, vomiting, wasting, appetite loss, cramping, seizures, muscle spasms, and/or spasticity, when these symptoms are unrelieved by standard treatments or medications.”

The new law also limits the ability of police to seize medicinal cannabis that is “determined … [to be] possessed lawfully [by an authorized patients] under the … law.” Source: http://www.norml.com/index.cfm?Group_ID=4571&wtm_view=medical

Law enforcement: Depending on where you are it can be from a 1 to a 4. Driving through Bellingham down Interstate 5, while smoking a jay may not be the best idea. the man can almost always pick out hot boxed cars. because Bellingham is so close to BC this stretch of highway can be clogged with troopers trying to make the big bust.

In most other Ares it goes from about a 1-2 level. parks are everywhere and police don’t regularly patrol them. down town might not be the best idea to toke up due to high volume of bacon, but consider the rest of this town green.

Where to buy marijuana: the college is a good place to find some WWU. also the streets around the college (Indian, high, garden, key) don’t be affright to ask. downtown can be sketch but usually not to bad.

Just gotta look for the right people to ask.

Marijuana prices: .8 = 10$

1.8 = 20$

3.5 = 40$

1/4 = 70-80$

Marijuana brands: fire, northern lights, purple haze usually pretty common. we get a variate of Bc bud in all year round (due to being about half an hour from the Canadian border) so the quality is great. this is a awesome town to find some truley awesome bud, and just relax.
