This month’s speaker was Steve Johnson from the Liquor Control Board. Steve explained many aspects of the LCB’s role in setting up regulations for the state’s new recreational marijuana market. He described how each plant will be assigned a bar code and tracked from ‘seed to sale’ in a database. A person is allowed to have one gram of marijuana in his/her possession and may consume it as long as it is not ‘in public view’. What this means exactly is still unclear; the initiative as written and then voted into law uses that phrase but does not define it!
The Precinct Captain announced that there are extra patrols for the holidays, with focus on areas of shopping such as the malls. He also mentioned that there is a group of youths doing robberies in the Lake City and Northgate areas that SPD is working on putting out of business.
