I understand. but in this video I posted, they exaggerate it to the max... but it's a TV show.
It's pretty funny

but even this over exaggeration of it's effects help the anti-crowd build their tower of lies even higher to justify the prohibition....

This article in the
Seattle Times clears up some of the points of the new law. As of Dec 6th of this year, it's legal to have up to an ounce of pot, BUT it will be a year, at least, until you can legally buy it from a dispensary (It'll take that long to work out the legal and tax ramification as well as issuing of licenses to sell...and that doesn't include the fight with the feds that is sure to come.)
So if youwant it, you still have to get it illegally, until the stores are put up. (Sounds like the set up in Colorado as NUG describes it, is more efficient...but we in Washington State, politically, have always had a penchant of doing things the hardest most inefficient way

). There have even been reports of people showing up at the medicinal MJ dispensaries thinking they can buy now...which they can't
I have a feeling there will be many arrests in the coming year from this misconception that you can just smoke a joint in the street (like you can't drink in public, the same goes for MJ)
