Medical Cannabis Retailer Craft Preparation Endorsement Amendment Act of 2025
This bill creates a new "craft preparation endorsement" for medical cannabis retailers in D.C., allowing them to prepare specific products on-site. Retailers with this endorsement can make edibles (like chocolates), topicals (lotions/soaps), and prerolls using purchased cannabis oil or butter from licensed manufacturers, but cannot extract cannabinoids or use butane. Key restrictions include limiting storage to 2kg of flower and 1L of oil/tincture, requiring shelf-stable products (no refrigeration needed), and prohibiting transdermal patches or sales to other retailers. It directly affects licensed medical cannabis retailers seeking to expand on-site product preparation under strict regulatory limits.
