Washington Senate Passes Bill to Alter Possession Limit for Marijuana-Infused Liquids

Washington State’s full Senate has passed a bill to amend the legal possession limit for marijuana-infused liquids

Under current Washington law those 21 and older can possess up to 72 ounces of marijuana-infused products in liquid form, given it has no more than 100mg of THC per product and no more than 10mg THC per serving. Senate Bill 5340 would make it so that a retailer “may sell more than 72 ounces of cannabis-infused product in liquid form if the product is packaged in individual units containing no more than four milligrams of THC per unit.”

A new limit of “200 milligrams of THC within a cannabis-infused product in liquid form is established if the product is packaged in individual units containing no more than four milligrams of THC per unit.”

Today the Senate voted 48 to 1 to pass the measure, sending it to the House of Representatives. Passage in the House will send it to Governor Jay Inslee.

The measure clarifies that “a person 21 years of age or older may legally possess the amounts above and may transfer half of such amounts to another person or persons 21 years of age or older if the transfer complies with other applicable requirements.”

Washington legalized marijuana in 2012. Since then, although lawmakers have been multiple changes to how the legal marijuana industry operates, there has been no changes to legal possession limits.
