Disabled Iraq War Veteran Aaron Birdle testifies in opposition to Washington State Dept of Health's vision of medical marijuana limits that constitute a 60 day supply. DOH had previously recommended 71 ounces, 99 plants, but retreated to 24 ounces, six mature plants (over 12 inches?) after Governor Gregoire's office intervened and told them to get input from law enforcement.

“What do I do for my remaining 18 ounces – the majority of the medicine I need? Oh I go to the black market. Oh, so now I’m giving all of my money to real criminals so this draft proposal which is going to put in a six plant limit is actually going to empower criminals.”
