Unlocking the Benefits of Becoming a Medical Marijuana Patient in Washington State

As a retail cannabis store owner in Washington State, I understand the importance of providing valuable information to our community, especially when it comes to navigating the complex landscape of medical marijuana. With recent legislative changes, there’s never been a better time to explore the advantages of becoming a registered medical marijuana patient.

Last Wednesday, Governor Inslee signed a groundbreaking bill that removes the excise tax from purchases of Department of Health (DOH) certified cannabis products for medical patients. This monumental move eliminates an additional 37.5% tax burden from your purchase price, on top of the already waived sales tax for medical marijuana patients.

So, what does this mean for you? Let’s delve into the benefits of becoming a recognized medical marijuana patient and how it can positively impact your cannabis experience:

Significant Tax Savings:

With the excise tax exemption, medical marijuana patients now enjoy substantial savings on their cannabis purchases. This financial relief can make medical marijuana more accessible and affordable for patients seeking relief from various medical conditions.

Access to Specialized Products:

Medical marijuana patients have access to a wider range of products tailored to their specific needs. From high-CBD strains to specialized concentrates and edibles, registered patients can explore a variety of options to address their unique health concerns.

Legal Protections:

Registering as a medical marijuana patient provides legal protections under Washington State law. With a recognition card and enrollment in the state database, patients can purchase and possess cannabis in compliance with state regulations, offering peace of mind and protection from potential legal issues.
