Visiting a Licensed Cannabis Dispensary in Washington DC

A visit to a licensed DC cannabis retailer is easiest when you prepare before you leave. Confirm your eligibility, check the retailer is licensed, browse the menu and bring the right documents.

Use official sources

ABCA publishes ABCA’s list of operational retailers and current patient registration information on ABCA’s patient page. Those are better sources than old social media posts.

What to bring

A government-issued photo ID, plus your DC registration, temporary non-resident registration, or a qualifying out-of-state card. Digital registrations are accepted at all licensed retailers.

What to expect in store

At Doobie District, the live menu lets you check stock before arriving, and our team can explain labels and formats once you are here. Retail staff are not a replacement for medical advice, and we will not make health claims about products.

Next steps

Read our first-time visit guide for the detail, see the registration guide, or browse the live menu before you visit us at 1526 U Street NW. We are open Monday to Saturday 11 AM to 8 PM, and Sunday 11 AM to 7 PM.
