Every state has different marijuana laws- they are regulated by state, not federal law. Some states allow marijuana for recreational and medical use, some states only allow medical use, and some only allow certain low THC products for medical use. Most states limit the number of licenses they will grant and the window to apply for them. Getting licenced is never simple- there are very specific requirements and guidelines that differ by state and its usually highly competitive, which is why most successful applicants work with consultants like Dispensary Permits to help guide them. We highly advise you read the guidelines below thoroughly and then consider working with a consultant or using our templates and guides.

The History of Washington Marijuana
I-502 passed in November of 2012, which established a state regulated dispensary system for marijuana access to those 21 years and older. The Washington Liquor Control Board (WSLCB) regulates the marijuana dispensary system program which allows for interested parties to apply for producer, processor and retailer licenses.
