[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we get back to the main point? DC needs to get MUCH tougher on the sketchy “gifting” shops that sell gummies etc that look like and taste like candy. Personally I think all edibles with sweetener added should be banned, in addition to anything packaged to look like food of any kind. I had thought that at least DC’s Alcohol Licensing Board (ABRA) had oversight, but it turns out they only have oversight of the more legitimate medical marijuana shops.

DC needs to roll back the law that allows sketchy “gifting” shops to exist with all the crime and unsafe, unregulated products they sell. [/quote]

It is my understanding that the reason for the "sketchy" gift shops is that both the Council and the DC population voted in favor of legalizing pot. However Congress passed something saying DC could not pass any laws to regulate the selling. So DC ended up in a place where pot is legal but they can't regulate the actual selling of it in any way. Thus the creation of these gift shops that sell pot without actually selling pot to get around the Congress-led rules. I'm not sure what DC proper can do about pot laws since they aren't able to pass any laws to regulate the selling of pot. So here we are.[/quote]
