The Metropolitan Wellness Center – a cannabis dispensary in the Capitol Hill neighborhood – is one of many dispensaries in the District of Columbia. Like most DC dispensaries, MWC gives patients legal access to the highest quality cannabis products and accessories found in the city.
One of its main attributes is that they grow and produce their own cannabis locally. Each cultivator is encompassed with nutrient-based water tanks that distribute water throughout the facility. Specific lighting, oscillating fans, temperature controls, and daily attention from trained growers are all implemented to ensure a natural growing environment at the center.
Plants at the Metropolitan Wellness Center usually take numerous weeks to grow fully and once they’ve reached their peak they’re sold legally as traditional dry herbs, as well as being converted into oil, edibles, and beverages. The constant production of new edibles and beverages for patients is one of the most noteworthy things going on in DC’s cannabis program. The MWC is no different as they offer raw, organic vegan friendly juices, butter in three different flavors, as well as a chocolate bar that’s made with sativa and indica. This is important for patients who prefer a different type of consumption to smoking as the MWC also provides tinctures, concentrates, and topicals. Regardless of your consumption preference, stay educated and aware of your local cannabis products by visiting MWC’s website at: www.mwcdc.com.
