When I l lived in DC, I'm pretty sure you could purchase marijuana from a dispensary, as long as you had a DC address. VA and MD residents could not.

So where’s a recreational dispensary in DC?

They don’t have one, but I believe they have seed banks for home growers.

In regards to Florida, is it decriminalized in Dade and Broward county? My friend living in the area told me this. But I am skeptical.

I don't know, I lived on the Virginia side. I just know there are certain websites or companies or something that you can buy MJ from, as long as you have a DC address. And they are very strict about it so VA and MDers don't abuse the system.

DC has pop-ups, just went to one this weekend i dont know about all these online companies and seedbanks and restrictions folks are talking about. All you do is go to a certain venue, lounge, bar, wherever folks are hosting and there's multiple vendors offering you flower, concentrates, edibles, etc. Sometimes im in there for an 1 hour, sometimes 10 minutes. But no card needed just pay your $5-$10 and shop like you would for bread and milk.

But it puts it a helluva lot closer to it than a city that hasn't. That's my point vis a vis this thread.

So basically Houston (Harris County) and Atlanta. Surprised Dallas has not as of yet.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that Mississippi will be the first state in the South (including Maryland, WV, and Delaware) to fully legalize cannabis, as we are the only state in the Deep South (and only one in the whole South besides North Carolina, Maryland and Delaware, if you exclude Missouri from being Southern) to have legality for both medical purposes as well as decriminalization.

I can imagine it being met with extreme opposition, and it will take years for it to be fully legalized, but I have hope that, after the state flag is changed, the conservative tide that is overpowering the state's legislature would end as new businesses and the employed people they bring begin to appreciate Mississippi for what it is.

Before that, easily before the full state legalization gets passed, I think that with Jackson having its current mayor proclaim that he wants "to make Jackson the most radical city on planet Earth", he may just end up getting pot legalized for Jackson only (in contradiction with state and federal laws) if he doesn't get himself ousted after the first term as mayor.

I'm thinking New Orleans, since there are already so many boozers there and it has some of the most lenient alcohol laws in the country.
