On November 4, 2014, Washington, D.C. voters overwhelmingly approved Initiative 71. On February 26, 2015, the measure took effect; meaning the following acts are now legal under D.C. law:
- Possession, purchase, and transportation of up to two ounces of marijuana for personal use by adults 21 and older.
-Personal cultivation of up to six marijuana plants, with no more than three being mature, by adults 21 and older in their personal residences. Adults may possess all of the cannabis grown by those plants at the same location. (No more than a total of 12 plants — six being mature — may be grown in a single house or rental unit.)
-Transfer of up to one ounce of marijuana by adults 21 or older to another adult 21 or older. All transfers are to be free from remuneration; sales are still prohibited.
-Use or sales of paraphernalia for marijuana use, cultivation, or processing.
Since the conception of this law, many businesses have been founded that specialize in i71 gift exchanges; changing and shaping cannabis commerce in the city for years to come. Finding a good dispensary in DC is as easy as searching Googlemaps, or just click here for my favorite delivery service!
