Announcement regarding medical marijuana from the Washington State Attorney General's office

Attention: This message is being forwarded on behalf of the Washington State Attorney General's Office. If you have questions or other feedback, please contact the Washington State Attorney General’s office through the email address listed in the memo below.

On January 4, 2018, United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum rescinding prior guidance from the Department of Justice to United States Attorneys outlining federal priorities for the enforcement of federal statutes relating to marijuana.

Washington State has not made any changes to its state medical marijuana program, but is monitoring the impact of this federal action on Washington residents and welcomes your comments. If you have experienced a change in your business practices or relationships or in patient access to medical marijuana that you believe is connected to the Sessions Memo, we invite you to share your experiences at marijuanaimpacts@atg.wa.gov.
