Final Round of Public Hearings Set for I-502

The Washington State Liquor Control Board will hold four public hearings across Washington to give community members an opportunity to weigh in on proposed rules for marijuana legalization in Washington state.

Last week, the Washington State Liquor Control board approved 42 pages of rules concerning marijuana production, processing and distribution. The plan is set to be adopted on Aug. 14 and go into effect on Sept. 16, the same day the state would begin accepting license applications for the newly legal industry.
