The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (WSLCB) is seeking members for its Cannabinoid Science Work Group (CSWG).
The group of experts will meet at least every other month, and will provide regular feedback about issues related to cannabinoids in the state, according to the Mercer Island Reporter.
The CSWG’s ultimate goal is to build a fundamental understanding of the cannabis plant and the synthetic equivalents of its naturally occurring cannabinoids, the news outlet reported.

- An expert in pharmacology
- An expert in toxicology
- An expert with regulatory affairs experience in nutraceutical, pharmaceuticals or dietary supplements
- An expert in organic chemistry
