#12016-02-07 08:17I agree with all the points made. I believe for Washington state to have a pliable market the creators of these companies need to have a strong voice in the rule making process as we want to keep our state prosperous and the companies involved prosperous. |

#22016-02-07 13:13The destruction of property provision for small administrative infractions is outrageous. Cannabis cultivation is now a legal, state-sanctioned, highly taxed enterprise in Washington. The State shouldn't develop a framework for encouraging legal cultivation and then massively punish people who attempt to participate simply because they might misunderstand the application of one or more of these vague and confusing rules. |

#32016-02-07 17:13I agree with the items presented here. The are real problems which are unfair and and unwieldy I also agree with the remedies suggested |

#42016-02-07 17:48I believe that the LCB has been charged with the extremely difficult task of establishing rules and regulations to govern an industry which has never existed before in our State's history. I think they have been mandated to perform this task with inadequate funding and less than clear direction from the Legislature. I further believe that to date the process to develop these rules and regulations has been seriously flawed as it does not include the input from ALL stakeholders. What may seem like a logical approach from a Legislator's, Retailer's or Laboratory's perspective, may and does in fact create undue hardship on the Farmer. What may seem like a good idea to a large Farmer, may not work so well for the small operation. What may work for Farmers, may not work for one of the other groups. In closing, I would urge the Board to reconsider the proposed rule changes and to do so with input from an industry advisory group(s) representing all stakeholders. |

#62016-02-07 20:03While I am sure the LCB was good intentioned, these are incredibly important issues raised as some of the proposed rules create more problems than they are solving. I am sure that by the licensed producers and processors working with the LCB, we can help avoid issues before they are raised. |

#72016-02-07 22:57Im struggling to the point of it effecting the roof over me head and the toll on my health. Everytime I find a way to make ends meet to be 100 compliant all I spent and the hard work was for nothing. I have to try and beat myself up all over again. I did this 502 to be legal not to be treated in such a criminal manner and work my fingers to the bone making nothing at 59 yrs old with ms and glucoma. I spend most days unable to walk from the physical labor and stress the constant rule changes for a small farmer placed upon me. This was to help me take care of my kids and let me retire in my old age. It has aged me 20 yrs. |

#102016-02-08 02:10Oh, and some other laws need to be fixed which currently say "Cannabis is not an agricultural product", "Cannabis farmers aren't farmers", "Medical cannabis isn't medicine" |

#12 Wish list2016-02-08 04:32We need the following to comply with current LCB requirements: 1. High-speed internet (e.g. 1Gbps fiber) to our rural farms to provide internet accessible IP camera systems. The private sector can't or won't provide adequate bandwidth to rural WA. Of course the elementary school nearby has fiber and lots of dark fiber but they're not sharing thanks to exclusive licensing agreements with private companies. Of course there's more fiber a few hundred feet away from the farm but screw you farmers you ain't getting connected because we won't make enough money off you. 2. 5TB USB 3.0 or eSATA external hard drives provided by the LCB any time they request 45 days of video from our 1080p cameras. One hard drive per camera they are requesting data for. 3. Compensation for time working for the LCB (e.g. copying data for several days, 2 hrs of being inspected, data entry into biotrack, etc). |

Yes, lots of people are reporting difficulty with their agents and compliance. I'd like to see us change from being adversaries to being friends and working together to stop bad practices and shut down the black market. That is all, young padawan. MTFBWY |

#162016-02-08 16:43The Liquor and Cannabis Board needs guidance from the cannabis community of small business people. We are birthing a new industry based upon a extremely wide-spread and prolific plant that has been cultivated since the dawn of time and we need to step thoughtfully into the regulated future. Making regulation favorable to small business in WA will set our state up for a unique identity that helps to build up our middle class and employ our citizens locally. We, the producers and processors need to lead this effort as informed professionals to ensure the future of not only a prosperous business climate but a healthy industry for many to thrive and benefit from. |

#182016-02-08 17:51I am in strong favor of points made in this petition. There are of course many other issues impacting the farmers across the state, but this is a great start in getting some dialogue started between the LCB and the growers. I don't feel the LCB is our enemey here, we just need them to hear the voices of the average farmers. We undeniably do the most work for this industry yet make the least for our work. Overregulation and too few access points have created an almost impossible environment for small and medium business. |

#192016-02-08 18:45This petition is legally solid and aims to prevent some irresponsible regulatory practices. We can't let our new industry be open to corruption or monopolization. Please check this out and sign, for the responsible and safe development of our 502 system. Thank You! |

#232016-02-08 21:47The sample sizes should increase, not decrease. With multiple harvests per month, more samples are needed due to new tested lots and new products available. Also there are different types of products i.e. hash, pre-rolls, flower, edbles, etc. Employee information and records are to remain confidential. It is not needed information. |
Guest |
#242016-02-08 23:31I agree with most points but feel it would be better heard if we stick to the most important ones. |
Guest |
#252016-02-08 23:33yes, I agree we should be sending samples to each puchasing vender with each test lot. but how much is really needed by the vender? |
