*LCB Actions: Cannabis Related Rulemaking ? Medical Cannabis Endorsement Proposed Rules and Legislative Implementation*

On April 24, 2024, during its regularly scheduled meeting the Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) took two cannabis-related actions:

*Medical Cannabis: Proposed rules filed ? Public comment period now open *

The Board approved a rule proposal (CR 102) to amend WAC 314-55-080 [ [link removed] ] related to medical cannabis endorsements for cannabis retailers. The rules now require retailers to post the times when a cannabis consultant is available on the outside of their building. The amendment also provides additional time for cannabis retailers to address compliance issues before their endorsement is discontinued. To provide feedback on the draft rules, attend a Board meeting (online or in person) or send your comments to [email protected] with a subject line of Medical Cannabis Rules Comments.
