On Tuesday, July 30, ANC6B will consider applications for two Capitol Hill cannabis gift shops which are applying for Medical Marijuana licenses:  Bud Love, at 1221 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE…

…and High Demand at 511 11th Street, SE.  Neighbors of High Demand are upset about a weed outlet – legal or illegal – on a block which is more than half residential and in close proximity to a school.   (Also, last week, ANC6A’s ABCA Committee considered a medical marijuana application from Luxury Soil at 775 H Street, NE.  Mike Formant of John C. Formant Realty opposed the license application, saying his company owns a building next door and it has been “impossible to attract a tenant for the building “because the presence of a marijuana outlet drives away other businesses.)   The subcommittee subsequently voted 5 – 0 (their SOP) to recommend the full ANC oppose the application unless a Settlement Agreement is reached.  The motion was agreed to, 5 – 0.  See below for meeting details. 

ICYMI – As You Like It, Barracks Row LGBTQ+ Bar at 500 Eighth Street, SE, will reopen at 12 noon on August 1.  The bar has been closed since April 8 while the building’s water damage issues were being resolved.
