Passage of Initiative 502 — Legalizing Marijuana in Washington State
I-502 authorizes the sale of marijuana in Washington State by retailers licensed through the Liquor Control Board. The rules implementing the initiative will not be completed for about one year. You can find information about the implementation of I-502 on the Washington State Liquor Control Board's website. The initiative does not amend or repeal the medical marijuana laws (chapter 69.51A RCW) in any way. The laws relating to authorization of medical marijuana by healthcare providers are still valid and enforceable.
The Washington State Liquor Control Commission and BOTEC Analyses, the company hired to assist the state commission’s implementation of cannabis industry regulations, has put out a survey for cannabis users to help determine the rules needed for the Evergreen state to effectively regulate cannabis commerce. While Washington residents are the most important participants, out-of-state cannabis users can also provide input, particularly if you live in a neighboring state or will likely be frequenting Washington for business or pleasure.
In 2011, the legislature changed the requirements for providing medical marijuana (cannabis) recommendations to qualifying patients by passing ESSB5073. The Department of Health has received several reports and complaints about healthcare providers inappropriately recommending medical marijuana (cannabis) or not following the requirements established in law. In an effort to ensure that all healthcare providers are familiar with the law and follow requirements and practice standards when recommending medical marijuana (cannabis), we've developed a list of frequently asked questions focused on providers. More information for providers on the medical cannabis law is online.
