A medical marijuana dispensary on Capitol Hill has been forced to close its doors after the Department of Health suspended its registration last week.

It was the first time health officials in the city have taken such an action, according to Tom Lalley of the D.C. Department of Health. A dispensary’s registration is the equivalent of a license to operate and its loss means the business must close. The length of the suspension has not yet been set.

The dispensary’s software did not provide real-time data, said Mike Cuthriell, the owner of Metropolitan Wellness Center. He said the shop has switched to different software that will be able to provide sales information in real time.
