Authorizing cannabis consumption in regulated environments.
HB 1932 creates a new "cannabis consumption event organizer license" allowing businesses to host limited, regulated events where adults 21+ can legally consume cannabis products on-site. The bill permits licensed organizers to sell single-use and ready-to-consume cannabis products at events held indoors (with ventilation requirements for smoking/vaping) or outdoors, with strict limits of one event per month (max 3 days) and no alcohol or tobacco sales. It directly affects cannabis businesses seeking to operate consumption events and adult consumers who lack legal options for public consumption outside their homes. The policy requires organizers to hold specific licenses, comply with board rules, and ensure consumption occurs out of public view, following Washington’s existing cannabis regulatory framework.
