“A proposed first-in-the-nation government program would require medical marijuana dispensaries in the District to put aside 2 percent of their profits in order to subsidize pot purchases for poor patients.  Under the regulatory proposal, dispensaries would give at least a 20 percent discount on marijuana to low-income people at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level.  Supporters have praised the rule for mitigating what they call ‘prohibition-level prices’ of medical marijuana, said Dan Riffle, legislative analyst for D.C.-based Marijuana Policy Project.  It is not clear when the rule, which was published in the D.C. Register last week and is in the midst of a 30-day review period, will take effect.”
