Sixty-eight percent of Washington state voters approved recreational marijuana legalization for adults.

Healthcare practitioners must authorize cannabis use only for these listed conditions.

Medical cannabis authorizations are valid for one year from the date of issuance. Recognition cards expire annually and must be renewed through the same process of obtaining new healthcare practitioner authorization and re-registering at a medically-endorsed dispensary.
Medical marijuana card holders (in the state database) can purchase larger quantities tax-free, grow up to 6 plants, and possess up to 8 ounces from cultivation. Non-registered medical patients can only possess up to 6 ounces and grow up to 4 plants, with no tax exemptions.
