ITS THE LAW
Buying and using marijuana
in Seattle
Can I smoke the marijuana? If you choose to smoke marijuana, you
must comply with the open use laws as well as the smoking laws for
the State of Washington. These are two separate infractions and
could total well over $200 in fines if combined. Do not smoke
marijuana in view of the general public and do not smoke it inside
a business or within 25 feet of the entrance to a business. Check
with your hotel/motel for any rooms where smoking might be
permitted.

Where can I buy marijuana in Seattle?A current list of the
stores licensed by the Washington State Liquor Control Board at
www.seattle.gov/cityattorney/news/stay-informed
Should I buy marijuana in a park or on the street? No! The
person selling it to you is committing felony delivery. State law
allows only I-502 licensed stores to sell marijuana. There is no
state certification or guarantee that you are getting quality,
untainted marijuana if you buy from anyone other than an I-502
licensed store.
Where can I use marijuana? Marijuana can be used any place that
is NOT in view of the general public. Streets, sidewalks, parks,
and public places are all in the view of the general public.
Marijuana use includes smoking, vaping and ingesting edibles.
Can I use marijuana in a park? No!
Should I buy marijuana at a medical dispensary or collective
garden? No! You should only patronize I-502 retailers licensed by
the state. All other dispensaries and collective gardens are
neither licensed nor regulated. They have no quality control or
labeling requirements or safety guidelines, so you cannot know with
certainty what you are buying or how much THC is in it. Anyone
distributing marijuana without an I-502 license is also committing
a felony under both Washington and federal law. Unlicensed medical
dispensaries may have an affirmative defense to criminal charges,
but all are subject to arrest and criminal prosecution for
distributing marijuana outside the I-502 system.
NO!YES! YES! NO! YES!
