Highlife DC

About Highlife DC

Highlife DC operates under Washington DC's unique Initiative 71 gift-economy framework, where cannabis is gifted alongside a nominal merchandise purchase. The Columbia Heights location is well positioned near the Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green and Yellow lines.

The menu rotates frequently and staff are transparent about sourcing, with a strong preference for Maryland and Virginia cultivators as the Mid-Atlantic legal market matures. DC cannabis cannot be transported across state lines, even into Maryland or Virginia.

Highlife runs a popular events programme including strain education nights and dabbing workshops. The gift-economy model requires a nominal merchandise purchase at a price point matching the cannabis gift.
