While marijuana isn’t fully legalized in the District—recreational sales remain illicit due in large part to congressional interference, and public use is barred under a 2015 law—a new initiative by Mayor Muriel Bowser’s administration is allowing more people to benefit from D.C.’s medical cannabis dispensaries. Under expedited rules that Bowser announced earlier this month, the District now recognizes medical marijuana cards from 27 states where it is legal, up from 19 states before. D.C. officials were also reviewing four other states’ eligibility.
