Lake Forest Park approves recreational marijuana zoning
Friday, April 10, 2015
The Lake Forest Park City Council took final action at its April 9 meeting to approve local zoning that would allow recreational marijuana retail facilities in two areas of the City.
In speaking to the adoption, Councilmember John Resha noted that by allowing sales in limited locations while carefully managing its zoning, Lake Forest Park did a good job of carrying out the will of the voters and balancing the needs of the city.
He also noted the planning commission and the council took care to use local zoning authority to protect the safety of children and families using parks and recreational facilities.
This action lifts the temporary moratorium the City put in place to allow the work of the planning commission and council to be completed.

I would greatly appreciate eliminating the term "recreational" with cannabis (marijuana is just a pejorative slang). Cannabis is not a toy - it is a tool used by humans for millenia in a wide variety of manner including eating the seeds as I regularly do for the high quality, complete protein and Omega 6/3s, etc. Using the psychoactive ingredient is likewise used for benefit regardless of whether the use is for some artifically contrived "medical" use matrix allowed by the state. We are capable of determining ourselves as to whether and how cannabis is beneficial for us. "Retail" is good - perhaps "Personal use" is best. Thanks, Patrick.
Thank you LFP. And I do agree with commenter above. Recreational is a poor label for this herb plant. Health aid/supplement/medine would be a better term. Sooooo many conditions it can help with. But just like medication or alcohol or even food, it's best to adhere to a dose that is apt to be most appropriate/ helpful. No one ever would consider a health aid, supplement or a medicine recreational, would they?
