Other LanguagesOLYMPIA — Attorney General Bob Ferguson offered the following statement on the news of President Donald Trump's statement on marijuana legalization:
“I understand President Trump has offered his support for states to have the right to regulate marijuana and for legislation to enshrine this right in law. I am cautiously optimistic that the president appears to have heard the will of the people on this issue. But this president has demonstrated a willingness to go back on his word. Until there is a formal agreement protecting Washington’s well-regulated marijuana industry, I will continue to stand ready to defend it.”
