Washingtons well-publicized 10 percent concentrates bill has been stopped in committee for the 2020 session.HB 2546, Concerning the Potency of Marijuana Products, would have limited cannabis concentrates in the state at just 10 percent potency for THC.

Lauren Davis (D), cited stories of teens discovered at school in the throes of psychosis after doing dabs and, as Executive Director of the Washington Recovery Alliance, reports from inpatient psychiatric hospital directors that they were seeing teens and young adults with cannabis psychosis on a regular basis.
