24th March 2023
US - Washington: Senate Bill (SB) 5069 has passed the Senate and now moves to the House. SB 5069 would grant the governor the authority to enter into agreements with other states to start preliminary cross-jurisdictional efforts to permit interstate trade between licensed cannabis companies. However, such effects of the act would be pending on a federal law change that allows “for the interstate transfer of cannabis between authorized cannabis-related businesses”, or if the US Department of Justice issues an opinion “allowing or tolerating interstate transfer of cannabis”.9th March 2023
- US - Washington: Senate Bill (SB) 5546 has passed the Senate and now moves to the House. SB 5546 would establish a Washington State Cannabis Commission. If created, the commission would manage programmes, fund research, advise on packaging and labelling requirements, conduct education programmes, improve conditions to favour investments in the state’s cannabis industry, establish universal grading and preparations of cannabis for the market, and work to ensure the state has a steady supply of cannabis.
3rd March 2023
- Washington: Senate Bill 5367 has passed the Senate and now heads to the House. The bill would amend definitions of certain terms, such as “cannabis”, “cannabis products” and “THC”, in the state's cannabis laws. The THC definition would also be amended to include all THC isomers (not just delta 9), and cannabis health and beauty aids, as defined in Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 69.50.575 would be excluded from the cannabis product definition. The bill’s effect on full-spectrum hemp products is not clear because it excludes hemp from the definition of cannabis but also includes “any product intended to be consumed or absorbed inside the body by any means including inhalation, ingestion, or insertion, with any amount of THC” in the definition of cannabis products.
