Are there plans to support medical marijuana patients here?

Kudos to Jean Comstock and Jim Pachosa, the Grand Coulee business couple that have asked the city council to grant them a business license for a marijuana retail store near Coulee Medical Center, and to Grand Coulee Police Department Chief John Tufts, who, when asked recently about enforcement problems, said that the department isn’t pursuing recreational cannabis (marijuana) users.

It has taken years for this clarification to come; however, it is obviously not a crime for adults, including tenants of the Grand Coulee Manor apartment building, to responsibly use cannabis products here in the city of Grand Coulee, Washington.

The main issue I want to raise questions about here in the Grand Coulee Dam area is: “What are the current plans, if any, to help provide support for Medical Cannabis Patients in our area?”
