A new bill pre-filed in Washington State represents the latest effort to expandU.S. cannabis markets across state lines. With similar laws already on the books in Oregon and California, passage would set the stage for marijuana products to travel legally up and down the West Coast and beyond.

Senate Bill 5069, led by a bipartisan group, would give Washingtonʼsgovernor the authority to enter into agreements with other states to allow business between state-licensed cannabis companies. Any products delivered from out-of-state businesses would still need to be tested per Washington regulations and comply with state packaging and labeling rules.
Outside advocates have been supporting the bill since 2020. Supporters have framed the change as an economic driver that would help connect cannabis supply with demand—bene¦tingconsumers, medical patients, and businesses.
