Washington DC weed stores are now a thing thanks to the numerous laws put in place by the government back in 2015. However, these laws have a tight grip on things so it’s important that you abide by certain guidelines to keep yourself out of trouble. But one thing to note is that the DC weed laws are not only there to ensure the regulated flow of marijuana, they also guarantee the safety of everyone who wants to acquire weed in the DC area.


This guide contains helpful information that can help you get weed in DC as a resident or tourist, risk-free, and without breaking any laws.



Finding the Best DC Weed Shop


The best smoke shops in DC are the ones that follow all the existing weed laws and also offer free top-quality weed gifts to their customers. So be aware which smoke shop to visit and which to stay away from. Here is a helpful checklist for finding legal smoke shops:

Do I Need to be a Washington DC Resident?


Fortunately, you don't need to be a resident of Washington to get weed within the DMV area. You are absolutely free as both a tourist & resident to acquire weed legally. Here are a few rules to follow if you want to find marijuana in DC:


  • You must be 21 years and over.

  • You can only possess up to 2 ounces of weed at a time.

  • Avoid smoking on federal property such as military grounds, public places such as parks, and your car.

  • The sale of marijuana for recreational use is prohibited.

  • Abide by the rules set by Initiative 71 (You'll get to know more about initiative 71 in the next section).


You can acquire weed in DC for either medical or recreational purposes. To acquire weed for medical reasons, you have to sign up for a medical marijuana card. Medical marijuana cards are similar to I.D.s. They help medical dispensaries verify that you need cannabis, not for recreational purposes but medical reasons.

What is Initiative 71?


Initiative 71 was a Washington, D.C. voter-approved ballot initiative that legalized the use of cannabis recreationally. The short title of this initiative was "Legalization of Possession of Minimal Amounts of Marijuana for Personal Use Act of 2014" - so much for a short title.


I71, as it's commonly called, was approved by 64.87% of voters on the 4th of November, 2014, and it went into full effect on the 26th of February, 2015.


The I71 laws allow D.C. persons over the age of 21 to possess up to two ounces of marijuana, grow up to three mature & three immature marijuana plants in their homes, and transfer up to one ounce of marijuana to another individual. Also, I71 does not support the sale of weed. Weed cannot be sold to buyers but only gifted alongside the purchase of other items.
