Public Service Announcement: Did you know that if you're over 65 years old and a DC resident you can currently SELF CERTIFY for a medical marijuana card? Apparently, they're also trying to extend this self-certification process to residents 21+ soon. Here's a refresher on the list of updates to the DC medical marijuana application and registration process for 2022 (note that one is expiring soon):
Clearly these are designed to help the medical companies compete with the "recreational" i-71 vendors, but here's something to consider: If it wasn't for the i-71 vendors, would medical have become so much more open and flexible?
Also, look at the quality of DC medical marijuana versus other states like VA, MD, and OH right now (YES. I am calling these states' medical programs out). DC medical flower is far, far superior to anything these other states' storehouses could even dream of. It's sad really. But, would it have happened if they didn't have to compete here in the DC market?
Speaking of superior flower, check out this absolutely spectacular Communion from DC craft medical cultivators, Alternative Solutions. A three way cross of Grapestomper OG, Durban Poison, and Romulan ((Grapestomer OG x Durban Poison) x Romulan) it very quickly became my new favorite among their strains that I've had the opportunity to try.
Testing at 27% THC and with wildflower essence aroma for DAYS the staggering potency extends across nose, flavor, and effects. She's got the most twinkly of trichomes, she's intensely sticky, and if you give her buds a squeeze she'll unleash a cornucopia of sweet and exotic fruitiness into your midst.
As a sativa lover, I'm not exactly sure how sativa-heavy this one runs, but I can tell you it definitely get's the motor going. For me that's a driving sense of motivation extending from a body and heady high that seems to excite all your molecules at once. This while coating them in a warm euphoric glow as well.
Experienced tokers may enjoy ripping Communion in the morning and can plan to set aside any cup of coffee - you shouldn't need it. Perfect for a long hike or day romping around a spring festival, I found myself with a constant grin and active mind. While I haven't attempted to roll any yet, I could see how after a bit more open air curing it could be magnificent in a joint. Presently, however, the stickiness makes it much more conducive to glass apparati.
