The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board has revised draft rule language regarding marijuana legislation. The new rules will be heard in a public hearing on May 4 and the rules will be adopted on May 18 if there are no disputes.
Some of the key changes included:
- A ruling that allows a marijuana retailer to accept any open marijuana product return with the original packaging.
- A ruling that removed the requirement for marijuana infused edibles to don "Mr. Yuk" stickers.
- A ruling that added new language that marijuana and marijuana products exposed to unauthorized soil amendments or fertilizers
- A ruling that added that failure to address monetary penalties for two or more violation notices in a three year period will result in license cancellation.
- A ruling that removed inventory destruction as a penalty for producers and processors. All penalties for producers and processors are now monetary penalties.
