Trump said he wants cannabis out of DC.
First the illlegal ones get closed down and now they are moving on the licensed ones. They’ll all be gone in 12 months.
This sentence in the report is either disingenuous or just dumb as it is very clear why it is happening if you have been following Trump’s statements on cannabis in the city
It is unclear why Green Theory was targeted, as multiple licensed dispensaries are within 1000 ft of a school in D.C.

A Trump–appointed U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia has issued a warning letter to Green Theory, a licensed medical dispensary serving patients in D.C., asking them to produce documentation proving their compliance with federal law.
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Edward R. Martin Jr. has issued a letter to Green Theory, a licensed cannabis dispensary located at 4828 MacArthur Blvd., NW, expressing concern that its operation violates federal law due to its proximity to several area schools.
Martin is know for defending (and attending speeches prior to) the Jan. 6 rioters accused of storming the U.S. Capitol. A POLITICO article referred to him as “a lawyer and longtime conservative activist.” President Donald J. Trump positioned Martin as temporary head of the U.S. attorney’s office for D.C. in January where he has been in charge of dismissing many of the defendants’ cases.
In the letter, sent today, Martin stated his concern for the safety of children, noting that the dispensary appears to be operating within 1,000 feet of Our Lady of Victory Catholic School, the River School, St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School and Little Ivies preschool. He emphasized the existence of numerous federal laws, including the Controlled Substances Act, that govern and often prohibit the distribution and possession of cannabis.
