Law Blogger Steve Graham Posts About The Expected Passing of Initiative 502 Decriminalizing the Possession of Marijuana in Washington State

    SPOKANE, WA, November 05, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- If voter initiative 502 passes in Washington State on Tuesday night, the criminal justice system will have a steep learning curve interpreting the complicated provisions of the new law. Attorney Steve Graham, in his latest post on Initiative 502, explains the various provisions and what they mean for the people of Washington. The law is not retroactive but Mr. Graham predicts that prosecutors will lose interest in following through with many pending cases involving the smaller amounts of marijuana. While the law decriminalizes the possession of marijuana in small amounts, the law also sets a per se limit for THC in a person's blood while they operate a motor vehicle. The law establishes a system of taxation and regulation by the State of Washington, but Mr. Graham predicts that the federal authorities would never permit such activity even on the state level.

The Law Office of Steve Graham is a law firm in Spokane, Washington that focuses on criminal defense legal work in eastern Washington.
