It is legal for adults over 21 to possess up to 2 ounces of marijuana and to give up to 1 ounce of marijuana to another person.
Recreational cannabis sales are not legal in D.C. Without licensed retailers, D.C.'s adult-use marijuana trade relies on gifting services. In other words, you buy a pair of socks or a fridge magnet and receive a few grams as a "gift."
