Smokers who have purchased marijuana from a street dealer are in the clear.

So you can smoke it, buy it from a street dealer, but you can't grow it.

You can eat it (tomatoes), buy it from a street vendors, but you can't grow it.

Sort of short sighted for the Seattle bright lights IMHO.

My understanding of the legislation is that if you pay for a growing permit you can grow it, but of course they haven’t put a price on the permit yet and this guy isn’t starting from scratch.
I think the idea was to make it into a legal business and the state gets tax revenues and the price of the growing permits. Better than a state income tax.

You can smoke it here (privately) as of yesterday, but technically, you can’t grow it (without a medical marijuana growing permit) or buy it on the street. That is Washington State law; what individual LE agencies and prosecutors choose to enforce may be something different.
