Revised Recreational Marijuana Regulations Given Tentative OK in Washington
Those wanting to buy legal recreational marijuana still have to wait about nine month
OLYMPIA – Anyone waiting to legally buy recreational marijuana in Washington will have to wait about nine months longer.
Revised regulations given tentative approval Wednesday for a system to license, inspect and track the drug would probably get the first lawfully grown and processed marijuana into state-licensed stores by June 1, some 20 months after voters legalized it with Initiative 502.
For those a bit bummed about the wait, this may be a bit of consolation: There could be 334 stores operating by then, as many as 18 in Spokane County.
