Global Ganja Report

The District of Columbia published more than 300 regulations Aug. 6 implementing a medical marijuana law that passed earlier this year and took effect last month. Unlike the laws in the 14 states that have passed medical marijuana measures, the DC law includes a provision requiring cannabis to be provided at a discount to low-income residents.

Who will be eligible for the reduced-price cannabis and how much it will cost is still being worked out.

Stores selling medical marijuana in the nation's capital won't be able to advertise their wares with giant cannabis leaves, and the packages they dispense will have to contain a health warning. (AP, Aug. 7)
