OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington state has issued its first legal marijuana business license.

The state Liquor Control Board on Wednesday issued the license to Sean Green, chief executive of Kouchlock Productions.

The license will allow Green to grow 21,000 square feet of cannabis at his Spokane facility.

It'll be the first pot grown for sale under the highly taxed system approve by voters in 2012.
