Washington’s initiative 502 legalized non-medical, recreational use of marijuana by people 21 years of age or older.

On the other hand, a medical marijuana patient in Washington may legally grow a limited amount of plants for medicinal use. Upon the written recommendation of a physician, a person with certain specified medical conditions is allowed to possess up to 24 ounces of medical marijuana and may grow up to 15 plants for his or her own medicinal use under Washington’s medical marijuana law.
