Washington and Colorado Study Similarities in Pot Laws
A comparison shows Washington and Colorado adopting parallel rules on licenses fees and security. Both require seed to sale tracking and background checks, with residency rules and childproof packaging. Washington caps production and bans home growing. Colorado links licenses to public sale, growth, and edible production with no production cap. Washington taxes high and restricts medical dispensaries. Colorado considers lower taxes and no cap. Colorado allows six home plants and separate licenses. Washington limits licenses to three and prohibits storewide dual licenses.
