No. A health care practitioner may authorize the use of cannabis for any patient, regardless of age, if it is medically appropriate under the law and the profession's standard of care. See RCW 69.51A.030.

Minors (under age 18) must have a parent or legal guardian act as a designated provider and agree to the minor’s use of medical cannabis. See RCW 69.51A.220.
