Update from an email: “Green Theory is not applying for a “smoke garden”. Green Theory’s original business plan may have included language regarding the hypothetical possibility of applying for a smoke garden, but that is no longer accurate. We have a strict “no smoking” policy in and out front of our property.”
From a press release:
“Late last week the District of Columbia Attorney General’s office paved the way for D.C. to allow “medical marijuana” stores to operate near schools and daycare centers, in violation of a federal law designed to protect children. Yesterday, a group called “1,000 Feet” lodged a formal protest with the District of Columbia’s Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration (ABCA) opposing the imminent approval of a license for a marijuana dispensary slated to open near several schools in the Palisades neighborhood of NW D.C. Under the Federal Drug-Free School Zone law, it is illegal to distribute marijuana within 1,000 feet of public or private schools, yet several elementary schools are within 1,000 feet of the proposed dispensary’s location. Currently, D.C. law allows marijuana stores to operate within 300 feet of schools in direct contradiction to the federal law and bizarrely, to D.C.’s own regulations stating that liquor stores should be located at least 400 feet from schools. And the regulatory agency overseeing D.C.’s marijuana retailing scheme, ABCA, recently asserted that nothing prevents it from issuing licenses to distribute marijuana in Federal Drug-Free School Zones, even if that violates the law.
