Cannabis Laws in District of Columbia

Last updated January 15, 2026

Washington D.C. legalized recreational cannabis possession and home growing in 2014 through Initiative 71. However, due to a Congressional spending rider, commercial sales remain technically blocked. A gray market of "gifting" services has emerged. Medical marijuana has been available since 2010.

Minimum Age

Recreational: 21+

Medical: 18+

Purchase Limits

Rec: 2 oz (56g) possession limit. No legal retail sales (gifting only).

Med: 4 oz per month from licensed dispensaries

Public Consumption

Prohibited. Cannot consume on any public space, federal property, or in any vehicle. Given D.C.'s unique federal status, this is especially strictly enforced near federal buildings.

Home Growing

Adults 21+ may grow up to 6 plants per person (no more than 3 mature) and up to 12 plants per household.

Delivery

Allowed

Tax Info

Medical cannabis is subject to 6% sales tax. No recreational tax exists because there are no legal recreational sales.

Visitor & Tourist Rules

Tourists can possess cannabis legally. However, there are no licensed recreational stores — only medical dispensaries (which require a D.C. medical card). The "gifting" market operates in a legal gray area.
