FAQ

  • What is a medical dispensary?

    A medical dispensary in Washington, D.C. is a legally authorized and licensed establishment where qualified patients with medical cannabis cards can purchase medicinal marijuana products for therapeutic purposes. These dispensaries are regulated by DC’s Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration and are required to adhere to strict guidelines regarding the sale of medical cannabis.

  • How do I get a medical card?

    DC residents may apply for patient registration to be eligible to purchase cannabis from any of DC’s licensed retailers. DC allows for self-attestation, no doctor’s note required! Upon submission of an application, applicants receive a temporary digital registration that allows them to purchase cannabis for up to 30-days while their application is under review. The whole process takes around 5-10min.

  • Can non-residents apply?

    For a temporary patient registration, non-DC residents submit a brief online registration form self-certifying that they will only use purchased medical cannabis for valid medical purposes. Registration, including payment processing and registration issuance, can be completed within 10 minutes. Reciprocity is extended to patients that have a valid patient registration issued by their respective U.S. state or territory’s program.
