glad to here DC is moving forward with that, but residents only :(

The bill creates a permanent version of emergency legislation from June that allows adults to self-certify their eligibility for medical marijuana. The short application, available only to those 21 and older, requires an identification, proof of residency and a photo.

I do love the loophole of Self-certifying your eligibility for medical marijuana!

I don't like this. The only thing worse than this compromise is Mendelson shutting down the entire gray market and using police and federal prosecutors to prosecute delivery services. I don't want my name and photo and personal information on anything in writing with medicinal MJ. Period.

Of course, DC wants to shut down the gray market because it wants the missing tax money and it wants the medicinal license holders to shut up. But the gray market was the best way to handle Congress not allowing us to have fully legal recreational MJ sales. There's competition among sellers for good prices, quality and customer service. It's pretty impressive. People who want licenses to buy can go ahead and get them.

I have a feeling that there will be some gray market delivery services that stick around for the reason I just outlined. DC won't use the police and prosecutors to prosecute them and there will be enough demand to keep them in the market.

And if DC does decide to criminally pursue gray market delivery services, I want these asshats like Kenyan McDuffie and Janeese Lewis George and Brianne Nadeau, who like to throw around the term equity when reducing barriers preventing dangerous DC drivers from renewing their licenses, to stand up and scream equity for the drivers (and other businessmen and women) of these delivery services, who are almost all POC and 99.9% non white.

No matter what Phil Mendolson and the DC Council thinks, no one should be criminally prosecuted for MJ in DC, full stop. If that means there's a gray market, suck it up and deal with it until Dems grow some nuts and fight the riders off a future appropriations bill.

Preach and amen
TM-UL speaks the gospel

are they in fact shutting down the gray market and enforcing laws that don’t really exist
The dems really should have used their majority in the house to fix this
There just wasn’t the will and always seems like bigger fish to fry

I hope that mr. Nice guy stays open as that’s exactly what I expect from a retail weed operation

While it will likely impact costs even if there is competition, I do think dc should get their cut in taxes,  millions have just gone into the black market with some shady actors involved (because there is a lot of money and you can’t exactly use a bank or file taxes)

 It I am with you on the privacy thing
We get another red wave election and next thing you know they are publishing that info, that could happen

I think we need to stop calling it. Gray or black market
It seems more appropriate to call it the green market

interesting...

"I've been hearing about these ever since recreational weed passed in VA. You pay a $10 entry fee and they have 30-50 vendors setup selling all types of weed, plus bands and food trucks. Finally went to one last weekend and it was way crazier than I thought, fungus everywhere, all kinds of weed in every form plus free samples... This one was about 1/2 mile from my house. I know there are at least 3 every week in my area. If Charlottesville the only place doing this? How is it legal?"

Chaz Nuttycombe is your guy, and he's promising his first forecast in the next two weeks. Ask again later.

Both bodies are going to be close.

Sounds pretty awesome, actually. Gonna be interesting to learn how the gray markets in both VA and MD develop as both states have dumb provisions preventing a healthy legal market from growing naturally. Can't sell legally for what three years in VA, right? Lol, good luck with that.

yeah will be interesting to see how this plays out
I'm just shocked that people take up commercial entablements in DC...I can't see that happening in Arlington, but who knows, a bunch of socialists live here
I can only imagine the operators in DC will just move into the suburbs.

These laws are so inane.  Can't buy or sell, but you can possess, consume and grow (which few will do)? Do you have to be a rocket scientist to see there is a problem with that market dynamic
