Reply to comment by DeadSheepLane in Washington's New Bill Would Allow Interstate Commerce for Legal Cannabis Businesses by CannaChefBuz

In washington you can have up to six weed plants. Three flowering plants, and another three that aren't flowering. There's a couple more stipulations like it's only for personal use and you can own 8oz of your own product. Still can't carry more than an ounce with you.

Edit: seems like I was mistaken, only with a medical card.

Congress has not only the right but the fiduciary duty to regulate interstate commerce. It's very much written into the constitution. The problem is that legal weed is so huge now that it can't prohibit it, or even regulate it, since it has failed to do so now for decades as individual states legalized both recreational and medical marijuana.

Congress is just so broken at that point that states for decades now have ignored Federal regulations and found ways to work around it. Congress has made itself irrelevant to some extent. The country is moving forward without it.
