WA CannaBusiness Association (WACA) is the leading trade association in Washington that represents licensed and regulated cannabis and hemp businesses. With a strong focus on advocacy and support, WACA provides its members with general representation before regulatory agencies and the legislature. As pioneers of the cannabis industry created by Initiative 502 and advocates for the growing hemp industry after the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, WACA strives to promote the interests of its member companies in the legislative, regulatory, legal, and public policy arenas.

What sets WACA apart is our dedicated and professional team that works tirelessly to achieve our mission. We engage in effective and impactful lobbying efforts, fostering relationships between elected officials and our members through initiatives such as our Day on the Hill. We also actively participate in hearings and provide testimony that influences the cannabis and hemp industries.

Moreover, WACA organizes an annual trip to Washington, D. C. In addition, WACA has dedicated local government lobbyists who actively seek opportunities to enhance the business climate throughout Washington state.

We also have a dedicated communications and media relations staff, promoting government relations efforts while assisting members in establishing their presence in the local community and shaping the public perception of the hemp and cannabis industries. Choose WACA for unrivaled support, effective advocacy, and a community-centric approach to ensure the success of your cannabis or hemp business
