Add a Medical Cannabis Endorsement to an Existing Retail License
House Bill 5052 requires the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (WSLCB) and the Department of Health to expand the retail cannabis market to include medical cannabis. Every licensed cannabis retailer has the opportunity to add a medical endorsement, if you meet the Department of Health’s requirements. The Medical Cannabis Endorsement is free. If you are interested in adding a Medical Cannabis Endorsement to your Retailer license, please follow the steps below:
- Complete the application on the WSLCB’s website titled “Application for Added Medical Cannabis Endorsement.”
- Email the application attention to mmjendorsement@lcb.wa.gov. Please put your tradename and license number in the subject line, so we can easily identify you.
- WSLCB will add the endorsement to your existing license and send you an approval letter.
The endorsement is not effective until July 1, 2016. For more information about the Department of Health requirements, please visit their website.
