A few thoughts from your Editor;

Happy Mother’s Day to Mother’s one and all!

Mother…

You filled my days with rainbow lights,

Fairytales and sweet dream nights,

A kiss to wipe away my tears.

Gingerbread to ease my fears.

You gave the gift of life to me

And then in love, you set me free.

I thank you for your tender care,

For deep warm hugs and being there.

I hope that when you think of me,

A part of you, you’ll always see. (author unknown)

And to my Children, being your Mother has given

me wisdom, patience, impatience, and a heart full of

precious memories. I adore you all!

To our new Mayor George– Get Well quick...we miss

ya down at the Center~ thanks for all you do for us.

On Memorial Day, please take a moment

to remember our fallen soldiers who

fought for our freedom- Hugs, Kendra

Greetings Fellow Brinnoneers -

You may have noticed new signs around town. The signs say Brinnon Collective Garden

and include a green cross with medical insignia. The green cross signifies medical

marijuana. A collective garden is a place where patients share the resources, expenses,

and responsibility of securing medical marijuana. In order to partake in the activities of

a collective garden you must have proof of medical authorization from a qualified

Doctor and show state issued identification. Once registered with the collective you may enter the facility, and review the various types of medication currently offered, as well

as, volunteer and assist with delivery to home-bound patients. At this time we carry

approximately 25 different strains of medical cannabis. We also carry oils, edibles, and

tea. Over the next few months inventory growth will be dictated by patient demand.

Many people are asking if I received an I502 license for retail marijuana sales. The an-

swer is no. The retail licenses have not been issued. However… rumor has it they are

holding the lottery at end of April. Other people have asked if I get my retail license will

I continue to operate a collective. Yes. I will try but I502 has some distinct differences

then RCW 69.51 (Medical Marijuana Law). The most serious of these distinctions is the

tax rate. Retail store tax rate will be 75% while collective gardens operate as a tax free

non-profit. The result of this disparity means patients will be forced to pay more for medicine. A recent bill was introduced at the legislature (SB 5887) that would grant

medical patients a tax exemption at retail stores but only if they show proof that they

are registered with a proposed state register. The bill also called for expiration of the

affirmative defense for possession of medical marijuana. This proposal caused much

dispute amongst the medical marijuana community and ultimately the bill failed to

pass. So…at the moment…medical marijuana exists as its own law under 69.51 and has

not been merged with I502.

As a result of SB 5887 failure the long range plan for collective gardens is unknown.

The bill proposed that existing collective gardens satisfying the 1000 ft requirement of

I502 would be grandfathered in as retail stores and given a medical endorsement. This

is best case scenario. But…like I said…the bill failed. However…I suspect this particular

section will reappear in similar legislation next year.

Until more is known we will continue operating as a non for profit collective garden. If

you have questions or would like more information please give me a call. I’m happy to

explain things and address concerns you may have about the newest addition to our

community. Thank you for the constant support and encouragement. I couldn’t have

done this without you. I will continue keeping you upraised of any new developments.

Respectfully,

Toxic Black Mold

There is no cure or antidote which can be taken for

toxic black mold. The only solution is to remove the

toxic black mold from your environment or remove

yourself from the environment.

Things to look out for during the

mold inspection include mold odors, water

damaged materials and

signs of moisture such as warped

walls and peeling paint. Areas where water flows, such as

around pipes, and where potential water leaks can

occur should especially be

checked.

May 2014 BRINNON CRIER Brinnon School Beautification Project

The Brinnon School PTO wanted to help make the front of the school

more appealing, so we decided to hold a contest in the school. We

asked the students to research plants that are elk resistant and draw

a design for the landscape areas in front of the school. Thank you to

Whitney Gardens Nursery for kindly allowing the students to come

over and research the plants and get ideas.

We would like to congratulate Kourtney Benek and Alexandria Hanson

for their winning submission. We will soon be planting beautiful Pome-

granate Splash Rhododendrons, White Dwarf Azaleas and Adriantum

Ferns. We will purchase the plants from Whitney Gardens Nursery. We

have already received a few cash donations which we are very grate-

ful for. If you would like to donate please do so by purchasing one of

the plants listed above from Whitney Gardens Nursery or by contact-

ing Ms. Norris at the school 796-4646. We look forward to do some

planting in the next couple of weeks!
