From an email:
“Yemaya’s Lounge, located at 3919 Georgia Avenue NW, recently opened as a fully licensed medical cannabis dispensary and safe-use location under the DC Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration (ABCA). Yemaya’s Lounge proudly holds all required ABCA cannabis retailer licenses and endorsements, ensuring everything they do is fully compliant and safe for the community.
This isn’t just another shop. Yemaya’s Lounge was founded by a multi-generational Washingtonian who grew up in Mt. Pleasant and has lived in Petworth for more than 20 years, raising her two sons right here in our neighborhood. She created Yemaya’s Lounge to be more than a dispensary — it’s a community hub built on five key pillars:
🌱 Elevated Health and Wellness
🍴 Food and Beverage
🎶 Entertainment
📚 Education and Training
🤝 Social Impact
In addition to high-quality medical cannabis products, the lounge hosts wellness events, education sessions, and opportunities to connect with like-minded neighbors. They’re also committed to being a good neighbor, with privacy and respect at the heart of everything they do.
Upcoming Event:
Mark your calendars for Sunday, September 21, 2025, when Yemaya’s Lounge will host a Community Walk & Hike starting from the lounge at 9:00 AM and heading to Rock Creek Park. This day is extra special because it also happens to be the owner’s birthday — what better way to celebrate than with community, nature, and wellness?
Let’s welcome Yemaya’s Lounge to the neighborhood — a space rooted in DC history, shaped by community, and open to all patients 21+.”
