Any product with detectable levels of THC must be sold through dispensaries. CBD can be added to products sold through the dispensary system, but cannot otherwise be sold outside the system when added to food or beverages. The serving size limitation for a cannabis-infused product is 10mg of D9, 0.5mg of additional tetrahydrocannabinol compounds up to a total of 1.0mg. The single package limitation is 100 mg. A single transaction is limited to 72 ounces, unless the product is packaged in individual units containing no more than 4mg of D9 per unit.

The state only regulates hemp growing and processing. On the product side, the dispensary system has a full regulatory structure for retailers and producers (see RCW 60.50.335).
