Update: Final Round of Public Hearings Set for I-502

The Washington State Liquor Control Board recently approved 42 pages of rules for marijuana legalization.

Editor's note: This story was updated on Friday, July 12, after the WSLCB revised its meeting schedule. The Aug. 6 evening meeting in Shoreline was moved to Seattle Center, and a fifth meeting, set for the afternoon of Aug. 6 in Everett, was added to the schedule.

The Washington State Liquor Control Board will hold four public hearings across Washington to give community members an opportunity to weigh in on proposed rules for marijuana legalization in Washington state.

What do you think of the approved rules? Tell us in the comments section.

Last week, the Washington State Liquor Control board approved 42 pages of rules concerning marijuana production, processing and distribution. The plan is set to be adopted on Aug. 14 and go into effect on Sept. 16, the same day the state would begin accepting license applications for the newly legal industry.

Here are the dates and locations for the upcoming meetings:
