Observations

A pair of rulemaking updates and a citizen request for dedicated cannabis business licensing forms were the last topics heard during the final board meeting of 2020.

  • Ammon Ford, an attorney with Gleam Law and board member of The Cannabis Alliance, commented on cannabis license applications. Ford said that “the licensing procedures that are currently in use” which took between three and six months to complete were “a great burden on a lot of marijuana licenses.” He wanted the licensing process “to be more efficient for everyone involved” with dedicated forms run through “electronic systems.” Ford found existing processes wasteful and felt WSLCB was still using “stopgap measures that were employed to get a functioning system running early on” (audio - 4m).
