Do You Need a Medical Card to Buy Weed in DC? (No \xe2\x80\x94 Here is Why)

One of the most common questions we hear in DC: “Do I need a medical marijuana card to get cannabis?” The short answer for Washington DC is no — and here is exactly why, plus what you actually need instead.

The Short Answer: No Card Needed in DC

Thanks to Initiative 71 (I-71), adults 21 and over in Washington DC can legally receive cannabis as a gift — no medical card, no doctor visit, no registry. Green Therapy DMV operates under this I-71 gifting model, so any qualifying adult can order.

What You Actually Need

• To be 21 or older.
• A valid government-issued photo ID the driver can check at the door.
• A DC delivery address within our service area.

Medical Card vs. I-71 — The Difference

A medical marijuana program requires registration, a qualifying condition, and a state-issued card. I-71 gifting requires none of that — just age and ID. For most DC adults, I-71 is simply the faster, simpler path.
