OLYMPIA, Feb. 20 – A number of bills in the Washington Legislature could change the way people buy, sell, and grow marijuana. One of the bills will allow marijuana delivery in Washington State.
The bills received hearings this week in the House Committee on Commerce and Gaming with a wide range of proposals and opinions. Marijuana became a legal commodity in the state on July 8, 2014, one of few states at that time to legalize the plant for public use. It remains an illegal substance within the federal legal framework.
Bringing marijuana to your door
You could be buying marijuana in your pajamas thanks to a new bill that would allow delivery services straight to your door.
HB 1712 allows licensed marijuana retailers to fulfill orders by phone or online for users age 21 and up. Current law allows marijuana purchases only be made at brick-and- mortar stores, making marijuana delivery in Washington currently unavailable.
Only time will tell if bill HB 1712 will pass and change the marijuana industry for Washington State.
