As I pointed out at the time, the idiocy of the poorly written lie we've come to know as I-502 absolutely let municipalities restrict the sale of pot.
And when Clark County decided to restrict those sales, why, the left went nuts, claiming that those restrictions were illegal. They weren't, of course: as the article indicates, Clark County became the 4th municipality to receive a favorable ruling.
In the interests of full disclosure, I have never supported drug legalization. But I am particularly opposed to this campaign of lies where so many, including our own horrific lazy C, were fooled into supporting this idiocy because, in part, of the revenue lie.
I hope, and urge our legislature to hold legalization hostage to their wildly optimistic lies of revenue.
I would drop a bill in session next year that if the $582 million promised in tax revenue to just the state doesn't happen, then pot goes back to being illegal.
Somebody, somewhere, has to pay the price for lying. Otherwise, there's no lie people won't tell to get elected or to get their project passed.
In short: they become democrats.

This was never really a question.Clark County wins marijuana sales ban court fight
A fourth Washington state judge has ruled that cities and counties have the legal right to ban marijuana sales.
On Wednesday, Cowlitz County Superior Court Judge Michael Evans ruled in favor of Clark County's ban on marijuana sales.
Clark County joins three Washington state cities— Kennewick, Fife and Wenatchee — that have prevailed in court fights that allow them to ban sales in the aftermath of voter approval of Initiative 502 in 2012.
The Washington state Attorney General's office in January 2014 concluded that, as drafted, I-502 does not prevent cities and counties from banning marijuana businesses.
