Seattle dismisses all marijuana-possession cases

That's a decision of the new city attorney, who says he won't bring any new cases, either, unless there are extraordinary circumstances. (A pot-smoking King Kong climbs the Space Needle, threatening to eat Bill Gates?) This is because Seattle voters passed a measure making pot possession the absolute lowest priority for law enforcement. On the state level, Washington is considering measures to decriminalize or legalize marijuana.
