Founded in 2015 and originally operating under Initiative 71 gifting services, the company transitioned to licensed medical cannabis retail in 2024 under DC's Medical Cannabis Clarification and Program Enforcement Emergency Amendment Act of 2024. It operates three retail dispensary locations across the DC metro area, with the Dupont Circle location identified as primary, serving medical cannabis patients aged 21+ with valid ID and DC residency.

The company offers a curated portfolio of cannabis products across five core categories — flower (including premium indoor and exotic strains such as Gelato, Blue Dream, Wedding Cake, Runtz, and OG Kush), edibles (gummies, chocolates, baked goods), vape cartridges and pens, pre-rolls, and concentrates (shatter, wax, oils) — plus topicals, tinctures, and accessories.

The business model is direct-to-consumer one-time transactional sales of cannabis products, accepting cash and debit. The company supplements retail with a medical certification registration service, an MNG Rewards loyalty program, content marketing through a blog covering strain education and DC regulations, and active social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. With 7 employees and no disclosed institutional funding, ownership commentary indicates a founder-operated LLC structure.
