Medical Cannabis Modernization Rulemaking Approval Resolution of 2025

This resolution approves updated regulations for Washington D.C.'s medical cannabis program, directly affecting patients, cannabis businesses, and the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Board (ABCB). Key changes include modeling application, protest, and enforcement processes on existing alcohol licensing systems, and adjusting patient purchase limits to reflect different cannabis product types. The rules, voted on by the ABCB in November 2024, aim to create a more orderly and efficient medical cannabis market without requiring new legislative authority. Implementation will use existing budget resources, as confirmed by the Chief Financial Officer.
