Only Two More Days to Weigh in on WA Medical Marijuana

The Washington state Liquor Control Board announced last week that it was extending the deadline for public comment on proposed changes to the state’s existing medical marijuana program until this Wednesday, November 13. The proposed rules would remove patients’ ability to grow their own, reduce the amount of medicine they could have on hand, and most likely result in the forced closing of numerous existing dispensaries.

“We have extended the deadline to submit public comment for the draft recommendations regarding medical marijuana,” the board announced. “The new deadline for public comment is November 13, 2013, which coincides with the public hearing/special meeting on the subject.” Submit public comment by email at medicalmarijuana@liq.wa.gov, by fax at 360-664-9689 or by mailing them directly to:

Medical Marijuana
Liquor Control Board
P.O. Box 43080
Olympia, WA 98504-3080

It’s probably too late to mail or Fedex a comment unless you overnight it, but the email and phone are still available.

Now is the time to speak up.
