Senate Health Care Committee conducts work session about marijuana policy

On February 4, the Washington Senate Health Care Committee held a work session about I-502 and medical marijuana. 

At the very beginning of the work session, Rick Garza and other staff from the Liquor Control Board and Alison Holcomb from the ACLU provided an overview of I-502.  Senator Keiser asked questions about preventing underage marijuana use. 

The Committee then heard testimony about:

• SJM 8000: Requesting that the Drug Enforcement Administration reclassify medical marijuana as a Schedule II drug.
• SB 5528: Concerning the medical use of cannabis.
