OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Two Washington state lawmakers have introduced legislation to clarify the state’s medical marijuana law.
The bills announced Tuesday by Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles of Seattle and Rep. Jim Moeller of Vancouver would require the state Agriculture Department to regulate growing medical marijuana and the state Health Department to license dispensaries.
Voters legalized medical marijuana in 1998.
The Olympian reports existing law doesn’t specifically allow dispensaries.
