On August 15, 2025, the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration’s (ABCA) Enforcement Division, accompanied by Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers, implemented Closure Orders to the owners of Capitol Club DC at 3429 14th Street and Good Smoke Dispensary at 1834 14th Street NW, Washington, DC.

The Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis (ABC) Board issued the Closure Orders due to the businesses operating illegally and posing an imminent risk to public health and safety.

While executing a search warrant during the Closure Order servicing at Capitol Club DC, the District's Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers seized nearly two pounds of marijuana.

At Good Smoke Dispensary, officers seized nearly two pounds of marijuana, 30 grams of mushrooms, 207 grams of THC concentrate, more than 1400 grams of THC edibles, and 20 grams of THC vapes.

To date, joint agency enforcement efforts have padlocked 68 illegal businesses since Bill 25-872, the Medical Cannabis Conditional License and Unlicensed Establishment Closure Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2024, which granted the agency with new civil enforcement powers, took effect on July 15, 2024.
