SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn has called for city and King County police and prosecutors to join him in a review of marijuana enforcement policies.

KOMO News reports Wednesday’s announcement is a response to an Oct. 25 raid on a suspected marijuana grower who turned out to be a medical marijuana patient.

Medical marijuana has been legal under state law since 1998, and in 2003 Seattle voters passed an initiative declaring marijuana offenses the lowest law enforcement policy.
