Draft medical marijuana rule released

The department has filed a draft rule defining a 60-day supply of marijuana for medical use under the state’s medical marijuana law. This is the total amount generally allowed for people who qualify under the law. The draft rule was developed following extensive research, four public work sessions, considering written comments, and other discussions with interested parties. The department has set August 25 for a public hearing in Tumwater, and is now taking written public comments on the proposed draft rule. A final rule will then be filed. A news release has been issued.


Washington voters passed an initiative in 1998 to allow the use of marijuana for medical purposes. Patients can have a 60-day supply if their doctor has recommended it for their condition.

The legislature changed this law in 2007. This page can keep you up to date on this subject.

We want your participation and feedback, and we encourage you to check back often for updates.
