Medical Marijuana History in Washington

In November 1998, the state of Washington adopted Initiative 692, which legalized the use ,possession, and cultivation of marijuana for medical use by qualifying patients. The votes were 59% in favor and 41% against. The legislature amended the law in 2007 and in 2010. After June 10, 2010, registered physicians could provide assistance or medical documentations on a tamper-resistant paper with an identification photo.

The qualifying conditions are as follows:

  • cancer
  • HIV
  • multiple sclerosis
  • epilepsy or other seizure exposure or spasticity disorders
  • glaucoma
  • Crohn’s disease
  • cachexia,
  • hepatitis C
  • anorexia or other disease associated with vomiting, wasting, and loss of appetite.

The law states that a qualifying patient and caregiver can possess not more than a sixty-day supply of medical marijuana that may not be more than twenty ounces of usable marijuana and six plants.

Initiative 502, which legalized recreational use of cannabis, passed in November 2012, allowing individuals age 21 or above to possess up to an ounce of marijuana. It also outlines a drug driving law with guidelines of THC levels that are illegal, similar to blood alcohol levels. In Tacoma in 2012, the first ever legal farmers market for the drug opened, receiving worldwide coverage for its operation since.
