If you’re new to cannabis delivery in Washington DC or just want to understand how it works, you’re in the right place. Local’d is a licensed medical cannabis delivery service serving patients across DC — and getting started is easier than you might think. Here’s everything you need to know.
Is Cannabis Delivery Legal in Washington, DC?
Yes — but it’s important to understand how DC’s cannabis laws work, because they’re unique compared to most states.
DC legalized cannabis possession through Initiative 71 back in 2014, but due to Congressional restrictions on DC’s budget, commercial recreational cannabis sales are still not permitted in the District. What IS fully legal and regulated is the medical cannabis program — and thanks to recent expansions of that program, accessing medical cannabis in DC has never been easier.
Local’d operates as a fully licensed medical cannabis internet retailer, meaning every delivery is compliant with DC regulations. You won’t find us operating in any gray areas — we’re fully licensed, fully legal, and fully committed to doing things the right way.
Do You Need a Medical Card to Order?
Yes — a valid medical cannabis card is required to purchase from Local’d. But getting one is surprisingly quick and easy.
Both DC residents and non-residents can apply online and receive a digital registration card within 5-10 minutes. Local’d also accepts medical cannabis cards from all states with a regulated medical cannabis program, so out-of-state patients are welcome too.
New to the process? Here’s what you’ll need:
- Valid government-issued photo ID
- Proof you’re 21 or older
- A few minutes to complete the online registration
What Are DC’s Cannabis Possession Limits?
Under DC law, registered medical cannabis patients may possess up to two ounces of cannabis at any given time. Keep in mind:
- Cannabis use in public spaces is illegal — consumption is for private residences only
- Cannabis is not permitted on federal property — this includes national parks, government buildings, and federal transit systems
- Crossing state lines with cannabis may result in federal charges regardless of local laws
