From the moment I called - to leaving the store - the vibe at this place is inviting and nothing but love from the staff. I work in the industry and this store sets the standard for medical when you arent being recognized as a dollar figure and actually engage with their patients.

Not fair that we have paid for the card and not able to use it. I was lied too when I was told I could go to DC dispensaries. We have to renew every year. A whole month already wasted. My card should be prorated.

The people here will help you renew once you come in. They know the paper required and can direct you to a doctor. Just make sure to come in a couple months before it expires as once the application is submitted to the government, it takes a while to hear anything back Remember, you don't have to wait for your current card to expire for you to re-apply. Just like any other license
