Attorneys chime in on Washington's new marijuana law

TALKING POT >>>

Every Friday the Weekly Volcano posts advice from experts living in the South Sound on our blog, Spew. We call the column South Sound Sidekick.

Yesterday, Olympia attorney Jim Foley chimed in on what the passage of I-502 means to South Sound potheads. Foley touched on many points, including the following:

Do not go anywhere near a Federal building or Federal Courthouse with your Washington legal dope.  To the Feds it is still illegal and subject at the very least to seizure.  What else the Feds will do remains a question.

That's great advice.

On a related note, Leonard Haggarty phoned the Weekly Volcano World Headquarters yesterday to inform us he'll be filming Seattle criminal defense attorney Aaron Pelley's I-502 lecture tomorrow inside the Green Light Expo on South Tacoma Way. The Green Light Expo is a place for RCW 69.51A.010 patients to meet and join collective gardens. You might want to comb your hair in case you're caught on film.

No word yet if munchies will be served during Pelley's lecture.

GREEN LIGHT EXPO, SUNDAY, DEC. 2, 3 P.M., 5408 SOUTH TACOMA WAY, TACOMA
