OLYMPIA, Wash. — Five years after Washington launched its pioneering legal marijuana market, officials are proposing an overhaul of the state’s industry rules.
The state’s Liquor and Cannabis board is working on plans for boosting minority ownership of pot businesses, paving the way for home deliveries of medical cannabis and letting the smallest growers increase the size of their operations to become more competitive.
Liquor and Cannabis Board Director Rick Garza detailed the proposals, part of what the board calls “Cannabis 2.0.”
Garza says it’s an effort to picture what the legal marijuana market will look like over the next five years.
