I came across a great poster titled Marijuana 101 when I took my family to a park on Mercer Island last weekend. The poster lists basic Washington State marijuana law in an easy to understand manner that everyone should have knowledge of. Here is the information:

Frequent marijuana use can lead to addiction (1 in 6 youth, 1 in 9 adults).
It is illegal to use marijuana in public.

Driving under the influence (DUI) of marijuana is a crime.
Many employers still drug test for marijuana.
