OLYMPIA — Washington is looking at allowing medical marijuana patients to place an order and get cannabis delivered to their home.
The state Liquor and Cannabis Board is conducting a study on how to set up and operate a delivery system with an eye to ensuring marijuana doesn’t wind up in the wrong hands.
Lawmakers requested the analysis in the supplemental state budget approved last month. They want a report with recommendations by Dec. 1.
“It is a way to eliminate one of the barriers between people who need this for their medical condition and their ability to get it,” said Rep. Shelley Kloba, D-Kirkland, who had authored a separate bill for a study.
Ever since Washington voters legalized marijuana in 2012, people have been asking for home delivery, said Brian Smith, a spokesman for the Liquor and Cannabis Board.
