Absolutely terrible experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless you are wanting to be lied to repeatedly. The inventory that the dispensary has online is not accurate, and they will make you wait for over an hour!

I don’t remember who helped me but as a disabled vet with PTSD the house premium pre rolls were great and the product was exceptionally great. Good vibes and I’ll be back again

Besides the fact that I didn’t see the cash payment only, they provided extremely friendly and gracious help and I’m so grateful. 6/5 stars, definitely shop here!

This was an extremely disappointing experience. The store attempted to deceive me on multiple occasions. I have recorded the entire interaction. The actual owner of the store provided me with 3.5 ounces when I ordered an ounce. The experience was truly horrible. Despite the numerous attempts to scam me, I was able to receive my money back the same day on Christmas and receive a complimentary ounce of weed. The store was attempting to provide me with something other than the 35% promised on their website. They offered me various types of weed, knowing that I would not be able to distinguish between them due to my gender. If I were to be completely honest, I would rate this experience a zero. I am filing a lawsuit against you for harassment, as you have been repeatedly calling my phone from different numbers and unknown numbers.

Pretty dissatisfied in all categories for this business. They chose a location that offered no parking and they rushed me trying to get my cash and as soon as he got it he went away before I could check what he was giving me. I had tried to check to see what it was before buying and he would not allow me to. He also did not have change on hand so I ended up having to over pay by $20 and they got my order wrong.
Smoking indoors? The right air purifier eliminates smoke and odor in minutes.

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.
Recreational: 21+
Medical: 18+
Rec: 2 oz (56g) possession limit. No legal retail sales (gifting only).
Med: 4 oz per month from licensed dispensaries
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.
Adults 21+ may grow up to 6 plants per person (no more than 3 mature) and up to 12 plants per household.
Allowed
Medical cannabis is subject to 6% sales tax. No recreational tax exists because there are no legal recreational sales.
