Adults 21 and over in Washington can buy and possess up to 1 ounce of cannabis flower, 7 grams of concentrate, 16 ounces of solid edibles and 72 ounces of infused liquids. These are personal possession limits, and stores may not sell you more than that amount. Oregon’s flower limit across the river is twice as high, at 2 ounces, but you cannot carry Oregon cannabis back into Washington.

Washington's Adult-Use Limits

Under RCW 69.50.360 and RCW 69.50.4013, an adult 21 or older can legally buy and possess:

  • 1 ounce (28 grams) of usable cannabis flower
  • 7 grams of cannabis concentrate (wax, shatter, vape oil)
  • 16 ounces of solid cannabis-infused products (edibles)
  • 72 ounces of liquid cannabis-infused products — or, for low-dose drinks packaged at 4 mg THC or less per unit, up to 200 mg of THC

How Combined Purchases Work

Stores may not help anyone obtain more than the personal possession amount (WAC 314-55-095). Because the limits are possession limits, buying the maximum at several Vancouver stores in one day can put you over the legal amount.

Medical Patient Limits

Registered patients with a DOH recognition card can buy up to three times the adult-use amounts at medically endorsed stores. See medical marijuana in Vancouver.

What You Can't Do With Your Purchase

You can’t use it in public (a civil infraction), keep an opened package in a car’s passenger area (a traffic infraction), or take it across the Columbia River into Oregon, across any state line or onto a flight. Recreational home growing is also not legal in Washington.
