State officials promise that Washington’s new legal marijuana market will be airtight, and that plants will be tracked “from seed to sale.”

But which plants will be the Adam and Eve of legal pot? Turns out, state regulators don’t really want to know.

The rules are deliberately vague. The state says that within 15 days of receiving a license and starting production, the producer must have all the plants on the premises. They also need to be logged into a tracking system from that point forward.

John Davis, who heads the Coalition for Cannabis Standards and Ethics, owns a medical marijuana dispensary in West Seattle and is applying to open a state-licensed retail store across the street from the dispensary. But once the 15 days have passed, he would not be able to transfer marijuana between the two locations.

“So what they’re saying is, ‘Go out into the world, get all the plants you need, shove them in a room, right? Close the door, leave it alone for 15 days and at the end of the 15 days it’s legal,’” Davis said. “And you know, as funny as that sounds, you have to understand, it’s got to come from somewhere.”
