- Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (WSLCB)
- WSLCB - COVID - Legal/Policy/Rules Meeting
The Board approved filing the quality control supplemental CR-102, adopted final rules for the consultation and education program, and heard public comment about “barriers to entry” encountered at the first social equity engagement.
Substance abuse prevention staff at the Washington State Health Care Authority (WA HCA) presented selected research on perceived trends in marijuana use, access, and normalization revealing a narrow focus on anticipated harms.
During a characteristically brief caucus, members were prepared for formal rulemaking at the following day’s board meeting and evinced the agency’s focus on social equity in October.
Amidst ten meetings of potential interest, the week ahead would reveal cannabis policymaking intentions at the legislature, the WSLCB, and substance use prevention organizations.
