10. You Can Be Cited In WA For Smoking In Public

Sep 2017

I did some research before I went to WA after it became legal. There is a law which you can be cited under.

It is the same law which prohibits smoking of cigarettes in a public place. The fine is something ridiculous like $35. So technically you are being cited for smoking in public, rather than the fact that it's pot. And obviously, it's not an offense you could be arrested for.
