reform of marijuana laws, alan st. pierre joins us to talk about what this means for our area thank you for being with us. >> good ning. >> let's tuck about weed grow off the bat they are not going to be selling pot or seeds. >> no, their business model is do something that hasn't been legal here for 25 or 30 years actually sell, products to make marijuana, and overtly advertise as such. >> now that is because federal law prohibits you from selling marijuana and growing it right. >> along with the dc law. dc 1981 passed some of the toughest antti paraphernalia laws and growing equipment is considered paraphernalia. >> what will they be allowed to sell. >> grow lights, fertilizers, bat guano all that good stuff to grow marijuana but that is the point the fact they are saying the products are out there to grow marijuana may put them in conflict with local and federal authorities. the effort here to

implement medical marijuana is taking a big leap forward. >> it is in that it is so overtly advertised as such there are hydroponic stores in the area people don't talk about growing marijuana at them. >> last friday dc notified six different businesses they are eligible to open a medical marijuana facility what happens for them. >> they have some of them already have leasing fronts they will be moving forward, and as soon as the district gets their licenses and permits out one presumes they will move very very quickly, get the cannabis right in the store front and if we go out to california and other places they have hundreds of strains of marijuana, hash, and products you eat called medical edibles. >> wow. so what about people who might be hearing this okay it is moving forward we will be able to purchase medical marijuana not everybody can go in and buy them how do you find out if you are eligible and what is the process for people who might be interested. >> go to the dc health

departments web page very clearly laying out who qualifies. but, it is going to be people who have serious disease types cancer, aids, ms epilepsy, this is not something you can just go in and have an excuse to use marijuana. >> is it a big drawn out process for you the actually be allowed to purchase medical marijuana >> we haven't seen it yet here we don't know but in places like colorado and california, it can be a 10 minute interface with a doctor. >> talk about what is going on in those fa filoses already up and -- facilities already up and running. >> in colorado, there the state licenses taxes them they do much more than any other state most of us are familiar with california they did it in 1996 they don't tax it or regulate it colorado is taking $50 million a year in from 80,000 medical patients. >> has there been any bad effects of having these facilities. >> law enforcement,

universities, do children use it more are there more robberies going on around it thankfully there is no greater social pathology just because a dispensary opened there are 2400 marijuana dispensaries open in the united states right now. >> are you hearing success stories from people who feel had it not been for this facility my ailment would have been much more out of control. >> sure not only serious ailments but we feel if you want to use marijuana you should be able to do so in the privacy of your home menstrual cramps people who can't sleep well, depression, cannabis works well for those as well and yes, we hear people after 42 years normal has been at this this has been life or death for enhanced ones life remarkably and in a country with 400,000 pharmaceutical products one assumes this can be within the am bit of choices you and your doctor can have. >> now dc has taken these two

this has something to do with what is going on with the union. >> right well, basically, there is a fight over how much power to give the unions, in building the second phase of this project and the first phase has already been funded out to reston but they have not got the financing set for the second phase which goes from reston to dulles airport, and hopefully, into louden county, and they are trying to work that out now they have until early july and there is a big fight basically over whether the contract should formally give a preference to companies that agree to use union labor only union labor at least in the main contract for this project and i think, largely it is symbolic because, i think they probably will be a deal to use the unions any way the question is, will it be voluntary, which is the way it was in the first project, the

first half of the project or will it be a formal preference which the airports authority board which is controlled by democrats they would like sort of a formal preference for a union deal well, that is the republicans and they control the governor ship and house of delegates in richmond and recently, all the seats the board of supervisors in louden county and they all have, some financing at stake in this project and they are basically saying you can't have any preference for the unions it is okay the you end up with the union deal but you can't sort of go in, giving preference to contractors, that agree to use union labor. >> now is all this going to have an impact on stopping. >> it could if airports authority insists on keeping this preference, then i think that certainly richmond won't give any money and i think louden would pull out all together. >> then what happened.

>> then they would have to redo all the financing, and that would at the very least slow the project and mean that it only got to dulles airport and didn't go three stations into louden as it is supposed to but i think a more likely scenario, once all the fighting is over, that we will see in the next few weeks is airports authority will agree to drop the preference, and they might get some extra money out of the deal, out of that compromise in richmond and ultimately the unions will be playing a big roll in the construction, maybe not but that is what will end up happening but there won't be any sort of formal endorsement or preference, for the unions in the process this issue, is a hot button issue, unions care about it on their side conservative anti union people can't stand this,. >> this is about unions for

them. >> i don't know if it is about union busting but virginia's status as a right to work state it is officially a nonunion state they don't want -- this would sort of be you know the camels nose under the tent, creeping in, towards sort of a more pro union orientation in virginia >> they want to keep it as it is thank you very much for coming in. >> good to see you wisdom. >> you as always back over to you audrey. >> thank you wisdom. time now, 8:39 a.m., 49 degrees, looking for a job, still ahead details about a local job fair happening today plus burger king is reinventing itself, with a new menu and new look what you can expect from the fast food giant next. >> first a look at today's my fox half off deal from a company that makes sending cards, notes and invitations fast and easy $19 buys you $40 worth of personalized cards and

planning our spring or summer get aways as you research and book hotels and flights for you and your family don't forget to do some homework for your pets accommodations as well there are a number of options out there now days it can get overwhelming, joining us now with more information is the president of check book.org and thank you for being here with us today. this is something near and dear to all pet lovers hearts you want to make sure little fido is well taken care of while you go away. >> people love their pets and worry about it yes, you want a really good kennel if you are leaving your pet in a kennel, you don't necessarily have to do that there are other alternatives too but if you are doing that you want a good one and check book found differences some are rated superior by 90% of their customers, for returning the dog in good condition et cetera and some down in the 30% range

and of course that survey, the owners can't survey the pets but that 30% range kennels wouldn't do well if we could survey the pets either. >> when i look at information you released the cost that was a big difference how much you pay for a week of accommodations. >> dramatic, we found kennels range for one week for a medium sized dog, some as low as $120 others more than $400 for that one week and the good news on that front, as it is so often with the things we look at, check book.org, that some of the best kennels had very low prices, really moderate prices so you don't have to pay more but you do have to be very careful when you check those kennels out. >> so we have talked about comparing prices and also talk about checking it out what if i go to the kennel and want to see where my dog is going to stay what if they say no. >> don't go there.

i just wouldn't go there if the kennel won't let me walk through just normal business hours walk through, look at how clean it is, look at where my dog would be, is the run large enough, will it be sheltered from hot sun in summer or whatever, so i would check that out and certainly check out the staff these people can you talk with them, and will you be able to reach them, you know when you are away or whatever if you have a question and some other things too. do they require that you have vaccination -- that your pet be vaccinated, and when the pet comes in do they check it for fleas and parasites and things like that and disease all those things from a health stand point are important. >> real quickly we want to tell people weigh your options check out in home pet care, and things like that as well all details are on your website. >> yes that's correct.
