The legislation criminalizes possession and use while maintaining local charging control and discretion to leave every opportunity for treatment options before and after conviction. Woodward noted that everyone got something from this compromise, but no one got everything. She also highlighted Spokane's strong leadership role in setting an example for other cities. The local ordinance adopted by the City Council looks similar to what was passed by the state Legislature.
