This is an example of how far language itself has been corrupted

If you can't grow your own it is Decriminalization not Legalization. All one has to do is look up the definitions.

Washington did not "legalize" cannabis, they decriminalized an ounce or less and that ounce better have a tax stamp and you better save your receipt.

Growing a single plant in WA is a felony. The New Lords of Cannabis in that state are the gun toting Liquor Control Board which wants to change its name to the Liquor and Cannabis control board. Well meaning Washingtonians who voted for "legalization" got screwed over by dis information.
