Medical Marijuana Company Dubbed 'Walmart of Weed' Opens In Washington, DC

Impact

WeGrow, a company that provides information and products for medical marijuana use and is dubbed “the Walmart of weed,” will soon be opening a store in Washington, D.C. Not only will this facility allow more sick and dying patients a way to ease excruciating pain and nausea, but due to its training technicians and services, it will allow individuals to grow their own marijuana as well. The growth of WeGrow, which started in California, will likely lead to copycats, the increased use of medicinal marijuana, and a battle over federalism.
