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.
