Cannabis cultivating store WeGrow opens in US capital (BBC)

[eppur_se_muova]

A retailer selling tools to grow cannabis has opened in the US capital, just a few miles from the White House.

WeGrow sells plant food and lighting - but no cannabis or seeds - to help cultivators grow medical marijuana.

The chain, dubbed the "Walmart of weed", launches its latest outlet just as Washington's medical marijuana laws come into effect.

Medical marijuana is legal in 16 US states and Washington DC to treat conditions from back pain to HIV/Aids.

Also on Friday, officials from the District of Columbia were due to announce who is eligible to apply for a permit to grow and sell marijuana for medical purposes.

1. Medical cannabis in DC???? Did Congress allow this???

How did I miss it?

I thought DC laws were all made by Congress and not by elected representatives of the district, and I can NOT see Congress doing this, they are such neanderthals......

2. Please be advised of an amazing documentary premiering on Az. titled Chronic Future Killing Cancer

Thursday. It shows incredible results of cannabis oil products and their effect on curing severe skin cancers and other forms. A fledgling company called Cannabis Science out of Colorado Springs is mentioned citing noteworthy results and biopsy. Check it out. I'm sure you will hear more this week. Perhaps not from the mainstream outlets though. Go to Cannabis Science.com
