U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Edward R. Martin Jr. has issued a letter to Green Theory, a licensed cannabis dispensary located at 4828 MacArthur Blvd., NW, expressing concern that its operation violates federal law due to its proximity to several area schools.
Martin is know for defending (and attending speeches prior to) the Jan. 6 rioters accused of storming the U.S. Capitol. A POLITICO article referred to him as “a lawyer and longtime conservative activist.” President Donald J. Trump positioned Martin as temporary head of the U.S. attorney’s office for D.C. in January where he has been in charge of dismissing many of the defendants’ cases.
In the letter, sent today, Martin stated his concern for the safety of children, noting that the dispensary appears to be operating within 1,000 feet of Our Lady of Victory Catholic School, the River School, St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School and Little Ivies preschool. He emphasized the existence of numerous federal laws, including the Controlled Substances Act, that govern and often prohibit the distribution and possession of cannabis.
