Washington becomes 3rd state to create marijuana interstate commerce law

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee signed into law a bill that allows legal-market marijuana to be transported across state lines to other legal MJ markets.

However, the law is contingent on the U.S. government legalizing marijuana on a federal basis or allowing interstate commerce for MJ products.

Oregon’s governor signed into law a similar interstate commerce bill in 2019. as did California’s in 2022.

The Washington state law mandates that regulators make a written announcement of the policy change to allow interstate commerce:

The Washington law also instructs regulators to amend state marijuana laws “to authorize the sale, delivery, and receipt of cannabis” from outside the state.
