I used to live out by Tenleytown and remember how disconnected it felt from the rest of the city that far north, where travel even by car can take an inordinate amount of time. This black woman-owned shop features a fantastic menu of gifts, awesome apparel, and their walls have also been graced by the inimitable Aniekan Udofia. No Kids Allowed is a hip store on Pennsylvania Ave in Eastern Market. I-71 Storefront Honorable Mentions No Kids Allowed Legacy is well worth a visit next time you’re around the Columbia Heights neighborhood. The lobby is spacious and inviting, I’m personally appreciative of their commitment to only provide flower, preroll, and edibles gifts in the current market climate, all of which are extremely competitive in quality with longer-established shops. T’s DC Cab movie, across from their hip-hop vinyl collection. Conveniently located to two Metro stations at the corner of 14th & U, this art gallery honors DC’s history from the streets and culture perspective, with photos of old neighborhood record shops and graffitied tunnels next to a poster for Mr. Legacy is new to the scene, having only opened in September, but should be on everybody’s radar by now. Add a friendly staff to assist you with their wide selection of premium cannabis gifts and the line out the door every weekend comes at no surprise. The building’s exterior has been thoroughly, beautifully designed with a mix of natural elements and a gorgeous piece from Washington’s most prominent muralist, Aniekan Udofia. They have a laudable donation system where customers can choose from four different charities to support. Considering how difficult it can be to find parking in popular areas of DC, this gives them an enormous advantage in convenience. For one, they’ve got a large parking lot and commuter-friendly location along New Jersey Ave. The Garden easily earns second place in my estimation, as it has some demonstrable benefits over other I-71 storefronts. The reviews you’ll find on social media for Gifted Curators' gorgeous Adams Morgan shop are positively gushing with praise. If this were a public poll, you’d end up with the same result. Their website is intuitive, regularly updated, and the online order system works perfectly. You won’t find any vapes or concentrate at Gifted, which means they’re kicking all this ass with one hand tied behind their back. Gifted Curators consistently offers cannabis gifts of sterling quality, and that’s my last point here- they only carry flowers, pre-rolls, and edibles. If you told me this space was the magnum opus of some ancient, dragon-blooded Feng Shui master, I wouldn’t raise an eyebrow. It’s the first storefront I found in DC that reminded me of West Coast dispensaries, with their enthralling collection of street art bathed in bright white light, hip-hop playing over the speakers all day, and most importantly, their interminably happy, upbeat staff. Drum roll please! 2021’s Tokies go to…īest Medical Cultivator Best I-71 Storefront Gifted Curators So with no further ado, welcome to the inaugural Gentleman’s Best of DC Weed Awards! Should we call them the Tokies for short? Yes, we shall. That being the case, it’s high time we handed out some awards to our favorite storefronts, delivery services, I-71 innovators and the medical marijuana market alike, cuz we’ve been around a while and have, like, opinions, man.
#Hindsight strain how to
They know how to play the game and they’re not going anywhere without a fight. It's not like when we showed up to hearings years ago and shoved our feet down our own throats with good intentions, but little experience. It's become apparent to me that this industry has matured in the five- FIVE- years that Congress has blocked the city from creating a licensed cannabis market. Speaking of! It was amazing to see how the community came together when DC Council Chairman Mendelson suddenly threatened to extinguish I71 businesses right before Halloween. We had a glimmer of hope that Washington’s time had finally come, but that possibility has been postponed to February and looking, uh, 50/50 at a generous guess.
As the planet successfully navigates another cycle around our celestial benefactor, it is only natural to contemplate the events of the past year with the benefit of hindsight, no? In 2021, we saw the great Commonwealth of Virginia legalize recreational cannabis sales before either Maryland or DC managed to do so, which I did not see coming.
