Taking the advice of the old adage to stop and smell the flowers really takes on a new meaning at this D.C. medical marijuana growing operation.
In today’s episode of “Matt About Town,” WTOP visits the headquarters of Alternative Solutions, or Alt Sol, a cannabis cultivator in D.C., to learn why the city’s bud market is at an interesting inflection point.
Come along to not only get a behind the scenes look at the Alt Sol operation, but to get an introspective history lesson that examines how the city got to the point where things are shifting from a “gifting” economy (and a “grey market”) to a fully licensed and taxed medical program.
