in Washington, we enacted a similar law about not arresting people for a marijuana violation. Now, marijuana is fully legal (I voted yes on this). However, now downtown - and some neighborhoods - are full of people openly smoking weed all the time. The police do nothing about it, and I wonder if the older law is still on the books, tying their hands?
