I was in a pinch and needed some flower. Velvet was close, so I checked ‘em out. Wasn’t impressed with the aesthetic of the shop and that’s cool with me. I’m here for the weed… I picked up two 55 dollar eighths: one Lemon Sherbet and one Black Mamba. The former is an intense Sativa hybrid that hits your lungs with an authoritative lock if you’re not careful, but if you can master the draw, you’re in for a good smoke and a heady high. The latter is a deep Indica known for its knock-your-dick-in-the-dirt potency. We’re talking snack time… Sleepy time… Got ‘em both right here at Velvet. It’s Za! Dig it… Why do punks today need to be pampered when they buy their 110 dollar eighths at their favorite fancy-pants dispensary? Velvet came through in the clutch with some good flower. Thanks, guys!

Horrible. Absolutely horrible. They sell fake everything and the cannabis is all delta 8. I had some tested and it is not THC. They also up charge their nicotine vapes by a significant amount of $. They also beg you to give them 5 star reviews so they look good. They even won’t answer questions on the phone inquiring what you want and tell you to just come in the store to get what you’re looking for that way they can persuade you to buy an alternative. Do not go here. Go to Georgetown Wellness dispensary right around the corner if you want real, quality cannabis. Also go to Havana on M St if you want real quality nicotine products. Avoid this store at all costs. Whoever gave this place 5 stars is out of their mind.

If you want the real, don’t buy from here. Sold me a Fake prefilled California Honey 1g Cart. Tasted like vape juice and knew instantly. After researching the real company. They do not even have these carts. These are bought online empty then prefilled. Go legit or stop lying to people.

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.
