Initiative 71, a significant legal measure in Washington, DC, grants individuals aged 21 and above the lawful right to possess small quantities of marijuana and cultivate a restricted quantity of plants at their residences for personal consumption. This legislation represents a pivotal shift in DC’s approach to marijuana, enabling local residents to engage in limited cannabis-related activities without facing legal repercussions.

Under Initiative 71, residents can gift up to one ounce of marijuana to another adult without engaging in a direct sale. This “cannabis gift” approach has given rise to a unique economy within the DC Cannabis community. By doing so, stores selling cannabis and weed in DC can remain I-71 compliant.

Adults over 21 can legally possess up to two ounces of marijuana, use it in the privacy of their property, gift up to one ounce to another adult, and even cultivate a limited number of plants at home.

To make a purchase, the most crucial item you need to have on hand is a valid form of identification that verifies you are 21 years of age or older.
