Herbal Alternatives and the other dispensaries in DC may only purchase products containing cannabis from cultivators licensed in DC. We thought our patients might be interested in knowing who the active cultivators are and a little bit about each of them. To date—ten cultivator licenses have been issued. Seven of those licensees are currently supplying product (with an eighth due to begin wholesaling in January, 2017). Several of the operating cultivators hold multiple licenses, though each license is held under different names. Below is a list of the active DC cultivators and a message from those cultivators.
