Washington State’s Regulatory and Cannabis Licensing Framework

Washington State’s regulatory framework for the cannabis industry is a comprehensive and detailed system designed to ensure that all cannabis-related activities comply with state law. The state is committed to promoting public safety and public health, preventing youth access to cannabis, and reducing the illegal market.

The Washington Cannabis Licensing Process

The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) is responsible for regulating the state’s cannabis industry. The LCB provides several types of licenses for cannabis businesses, including:

Producer license: Allows the licensee to cultivate, harvest, and package cannabis.
Processor license: Allows the licensee to process and package cannabis into a usable form, such as edibles or concentrates.
Retailer license: Allows the licensee to sell cannabis products to consumers.
Research license: Allows the licensee to conduct research on cannabis.

To apply for a license, applicants must submit a detailed application, along with supporting documentation and a fee. The LCB will review the application and may request additional information or clarification. Once the application is approved, the licensee must comply with all state regulations and maintain a clean record to keep their license in good standing.

Costs Associated with Each Cannabis Business Application

Producer license: $1,480 for a new license, $1,200 for an annual renewal.
Processor license: $1,480 for a new license, $1,200 for an annual renewal.
Retailer license: $1,230 for a new license, $1,200 for an annual renewal.

CANNABIS ANALYTICAL TESTING LICENSE

The Cannabis Laboratory Analytical Testing license is needed for individuals and corporations who wish to possess cannabis and to alter the chemical or physical properties of cannabis for testing purposes. Before applying, it’s important to determine if this license is needed, as the applicant may already be authorized to conduct analytical testing activities under the terms of an existing license (e.g., in-house testing for THC and CBD). Analytical testing may include but is not limited to testing for chemical and microbial contaminants, cannabinoid content, dissolution/disintegration, sterility, stability and pesticides, including assurance that requirements are being met by license holders bound by the cannabis mandatory testing requirements. Cannabis Laboratories will also require ISO17025 certification to apply!
