Maryland is actually first, but you need a state medical marijuana card. I’ve been told that they are relatively easy to get, but as with everything in Maryland they prefer to make things more complicated than they need to be.

MD does not sell recreational marijuana, that is what VA has approved - similar to CO. They currently have the same medical sale requirements as VA does currently. Both have retail stores and require medical cards for purchase.

When’s the retail stores coming?

Retail stores are already open in both VA and MD if you have a medical MJ card.

But what if you don’t have any sort of medical condition or malady that is treatable with MJ? What do you do if you’re healthy and just want to get stoned? What are you supposed to do then? Because those people are just SOL it seems.

Grow your own.

For now, get it in DC. At least it will be legal when you possess it and use it in VA.

You cannot legally purchase weed in DC. That is a crime.

But you can purchase a coupon. And you receive a free "gift". There are plenty of storefronts in DC now, you just need to be 21+.

That is also illegal. The "gift" is provided inconsideration of the purchase of the "coupon". If they do not provide a free "gift" to anyone that asks, then it is an illegal transaction.

Soon Target and Walmart will sell it. Gas stations, supermarkets, 7-11s, and small convenient stores on the street conners will join. It will be as popular as cigarettes.

The city doesn't seem to see it that way...

The rider has been stripped out of the latest bill and we will probably have a taxes regulatory system by years end.

Well it's legal to possess MJ in VA but illegal to purchase it or the seeds to grow your own MJ. So I suppose to answer your question, you would have to purchase or grow it illegally in order to lawfully possess it.

You should care. The problem with the current situation is that they can decide to enforce it at any time and against anybody rather indiscriminately. Anyone who purchases marijuana - regardless of whether it was a straw transaction for a "coupon" - leaves themselves vulnerable to future Federal charges. This is not like speeding or jaywalking where they need to catch you in the act. They can bring indictments years into the future.

The stores might have a list of doctors who will happily prescribe cannabis for headaches or stress or anything.

So we can now admit that the whole medical MJ thing was just a sham to get stoners their bud!

Bingo!

You didn’t have to lie about it this whole time.

Regardless of what happens to legalization in DC in the future, you are permanently barred from a security clearance based on this current conduct. So enjoy that.
