Extends temporary medical cannabis ID cards from 30 to 90 days and removes photo submission requirement.

The District of Columbia Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Board has amended its regulations to extend the validity of temporary medical cannabis ID cards from 30 to 90 days. This change aims to prevent patients from losing access to medical cannabis while waiting for their permanent cards. Additionally, the Board has removed the requirement for applicants to submit a photograph with their application, addressing concerns about privacy and the burden of taking and printing a passport-style photograph.
