A The bill was a Washington State has proposed allowing public consumption of cannabis within regulated settings. NBC Right Now reports. The legislation would allow licensed organizers to host up to one event per month, each lasting a maximum of three days at locations approved by the Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) which would regulate the events under strict guidelines.   

A budtender’s permit would be created for all employees at these events. The permit covers training on responsible sales, over-serving customers, and how to best deal with them.

During a hearing in the House Committee on Consumer Protection and Business, James McMahan, policy director with the Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, said his organization is concerned that, if approved, the law “would be the first in yet another slew of bills that further expand the opportunities for those to drive intoxicated.”

State Rep. Brandy Donaghy, a D-party cosponsor of the bill, said that this argument can be used “anywhere that sells alcohol.” 

You’re trusted as an adult to take the responsibility of getting home safely and in a manner that doesn’t also put other people at risk. — Donaghy via NBC Right Now 

The bill currently resides in the Committee on Consumer Protection and Business.
