WSLCB-coded POS for Washington dispensaries

Statutes that bite

Tax stack

Compliance topics surfaced in-platform

• Age 21+ adult-use; 18–20 qualifying patient with a recognition card may enter AND purchase at a medically endorsed outlet (RCW 69.50.357(2)); under-18 patient with a recognition card may enter accompanied by their designated provider but may NOT purchase — the 21+ designated provider transacts (RCW 69.51A.220(1)-(3)). ID verification with audit trail (24-month retention — our default; no WA rule sets a retention floor for age-verification records)
• WSLCB traceability via CCRS — the board's own in-house reporting system, filed directly by the licensee (WAC 314-55-083). A third-party integrator is optional, not the path.
• Required signage + advertising rules (WAC 314-55-155)
• Sale-to-minor lock — cannot bypass without manager PIN + reason
• Vendor-sample tracking — each rep sample logged as a $0 traceable transfer on the COA chain (WAC 314-55-079 retailer-privileges scope)
• Chemical-impairment reporting + manager-on-duty audit log
• Retention: sale records and employee records 5 years (WAC 314-55-087), surveillance video 45 days (WAC 314-55-083)

Washington cannabis retail — common questions

Who regulates cannabis retail in Washington?

Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (WSLCB) is the state cannabis regulator for Washington. Official site: https://lcb.wa.gov.

What seed-to-sale track-and-trace system does Washington use?

Washington uses CCRS, Washington's state-built Cannabis Compliance and Reporting System (a state system, not a licensed vendor platform). CannAgent structures its records to CCRS's required fields.

What cannabis taxes apply to retail in Washington?

37% cannabis excise (WSLCB). RCW 69.50.535(1)(b) requires it to be reflected in the quoted shelf price and in any advertising that includes prices. A medical-endorsement exemption runs until June 30, 2029. WA state + local sales/use is location-specific, not a blend: Seattle (King, loc 1734) is 10.40% — 6.50% state plus 2.90% local, per DOR's Q3 2026 table. Wenatchee is not separately listed in that table; confirm it against DOR's address lookup rather than assuming a county figure. City B&O reported per municipal code. Seattle's retailing rate is 0.342% for 2026–2032 (0.222% through 2025), but from January 1, 2026 the B&O threshold rose to $2M of taxable revenue with a $2M standard deduction above it — a single-store operator under that files and owes nothing.
