A Marijuana Fueled Exercise in Futility

How much marijuana would constitute a “basket full of smoke,” as Johnny Cash sings in the tune Let the Train Blow the Whistle, after offering all another toke?

The state of Washington allegedly will be taking this matter up, debating, and then indeed legislating, exactly how much smoke an individual may have on hand if they have a script from their physician for medical marijuana.

What may seem like an odd question for straight-laced government types to tackle is a serious attempt to shore up the state’s medical marijuana law, which has been around for nearly a decade without defining the 60-day supply patients are allowed to have on hand.

Would an ounce or two of White Widow be considered a basket full of smoke, good for 60 days?  What if the smoke is commercial grade Columbian, would a pound of smoke then be considered a basket full?  What if an individual is utilizing Thai stick to fill their medical marijuana script?  Would the bamboo sticks traditionally utilized to wrap Thai buds around be included in the weighing of an individual’s supposed marijuana limit?

In actuality, though, the reason the basket full of smoke question is being debated is this.

Prosecutors and police generally support the change, saying it should help officers determine whom to arrest and whom to leave alone.

I think said prosecutors and police should leave us all alone, when it comes to baskets full of smoke, whether an individual has a script, or not.
