District of Columbia Medical Marijuana Card

Amendment Act B18-622, AKA the “Legalization of Marijuana for Medical Treatment Amendment Act of 2010“, establishes a medical marijuana program to “regulate the manufacture, cultivation, distribution, dispensing, purchase, delivery, sale, possession, and administration of medical marijuana and the manufacture, possession, purchase, sale, and use of paraphernalia. The Program shall be administered by the Mayor. The law requires that all medical marijuana patients MUST register with the District of Columbia Department of Health and receive a medical marijuana card, otherwise known as a cannabis card or pot card.

Obtaining your Washington DC marijuana card will open up a lot of opportunities for you to receive specialized treatment with medical cannabis. It’ll also provide legal protection for you to purchase your medicine from a licensed provider and enable you to grow a certain amount at home. That is why you should allow MarijuanaDoctors.com to help you get your marijuana ID card and enjoy the benefits.

After helping you get your medical cannabis ID card, MarijuanaDoctors.com can also help you to locate the best marijuana dispensaries where you’ll get top-quality marijuana products.
Full Protection of the Law – Carrying a medical marijuana card will help you enjoy total legal protection provided by both state and federal laws. In Washington DC, the laws regulating medical and recreational marijuana have been modified. So, owning a card is now a must for anyone who wants to use marijuana for either purpose.

If you’re in possession of cannabis without a prescription from a licensed doctor or a marijuana ID card, you could be arrested by law enforcement agents. However, your ID card will enable you to carry your cannabis with you.

Permission to Grow Your Own Plants – Your card gives you the opportunity to legally purchase medical marijuana and to grow your own pot. In Washington DC, you’re allowed to grow up to six plants, but only three should be mature at any given time. Each cannabis plant that has attained a height of six feet can actually produce up to four pounds of dried flower.
