Washington DC is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States, and for good reason. The city is home to some of the best museums and restaurants in the country. But Washington DC is also home to something else- good weed.
In this article, we will talk about how you can get weed from Washington DC dispensaries by complying with the DC weed laws.
Does DC Have Recreational Dispensaries?
No, there isn't. While medical marijuana dispensaries have been operating in DC for years, there are no recreational dispensaries. This is because the DC Council has not yet created regulations for the sale of recreational cannabis.
But medical cannabis doesn't mean it’s hard to get! Purchasing from medical dispensaries like Aligned is as easy as 1,2,3!
How Do DC Dispensaries Work?
If you want to buy weed from a dispensary in DC, there are a few things you need to know. First, you need to be 21 years of age or older. You will also need a medical marijuana card. A medical marijuana card is a card that is issued by the DC Alcoholic Beverages and Cannabis Administration that allows you to purchase medical cannabis from dispensaries.
