Do You Know??
On 1st October 2020, Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration (ABRA) assumed regulatory authority for the District’s medical marijuana program.
On 2nd Nov 2021, The council of the District of Columbia authorized the Medical Cannabis Patient Emergency Amendment Act of 2021 to address the associated costs with the medical marijuana registration process, which makes it challenging for several patients to buy cannabis legally while driving patients to illicit ways.
The state has newly created a two-year registration card at no cost until 30 Sept 2022 to all the qualifying patients and their caregivers.
Bill 24-629 declared a medical marijuana sales tax holiday a week envisioned to retain and bring patients back to MMP. This sales tax holiday functions on the period of 15 April 2022 through 24 April 2022.
In response to the Bill, the board has adopted the Medical Cannabis patient registration fees notice of second emergency rulemaking, and now the board desires to maintain the emergency rules to further encourage the patient access while increasing the cannabis program participation
These emergency rules make the medical registration cards available at no cost for additional 120 days during emergencies and temporary legislation permitting the issuance of 2 years registration cards.
In Short!
The previously implemented program modifications will remain in effect while including the following!
- Issuing of registration cards for 2 years from issuance date at no costs for all the applications by 18th August.
- Telehealth recommendations are permitted.
- Applicants of age 65 or more may self-certify the cannabis use for medicinal purposes in the lieu of securing recommendations from a healthcare provider through 30th Sept.
- Patients may now purchase up to 8 ounces of medical marijuana products within a rolling period of 30 days.
RECIPROCITY LAWS!!
The district has expanded the reciprocity by 5 states including Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma, Utah, and Virginia for a total of 32 states.
The reciprocity permits non-DC residents enrolled in active MMP of another jurisdiction to buy cannabis at licensed dispensaries.

The caregivers and patients are required to maintain the profile information with ABRA including the home address, designated caregivers’ information, first and last name, and the details of recommending physicians’ information.
A patient is required to fill in the change of information form within 14 days of any new changes.
