Washington, District of Columbia Drug Testing News

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Washington, D.C. ranks as one of the top states with a death toll related to opioids. To explain, in 2016 there were approximately 209 opioid-related overdose deaths which puts Washington, D.C. at a rate of 30 deaths per 100,000 persons. This is more than double the national average of 13.3 deaths per 100,000 persons during the same time period. From 2013 to 2016 deaths related to synthetic opioids have been increasing greatly, starting at just 13 and sky rocketing to 129. Not to mention, since 2010, the number of overdose deaths related to heroin has increased from 16 to 67.

With the rates of deaths increasing each year, Mayor Muriel Bowser made plans to help end the opioid epidemic that is taking over the community by aiming to complete seven goals.

Goal 1: Reduce legislative and regulatory barriers to create a comprehensive surveillance and response that supports sustainable solutions to emerging trends in substance use disorder, opioid-related overdoses, and opioid-related fatalities.

Goal 2: Educate District residents and key stakeholders on the risks of opioid use disorders and effective prevention and treatment options.

Goal 3: Engage health professionals and organizations in the prevention and early intervention of substance use disorder among District residents.

Goal 4: Support the awareness and availability of, and access to, harm reduction services in Washington, DC.

Goal 5: Ensure equitable and timely access to high-quality substance use disorder treatment and recovery support services.

Goal 6: Develop and implement a shared vision between Washington, DC’s justice and public health agencies to address the needs of individuals who come in contact with the criminal justice system to develop a culture of empathy for residents and their families.

Goal 7: Develop effective law enforcement strategies that reduce the supply of illegal opioids in Washington, DC.

According to DC.gov, “The plan will complement the DC Government’s existing interagency work to reduce opioid use disorder that includes improving data and surveillance, expanding access to life-saving harm reduction best practices, and educating residents on risks and treatment options through innovative public campaigns.”

Marijuana in Washington, District of Columbia

According to Macey Wolfer and WIKILEAF, “anyone over the age of 21 can possess up to two ounces of marijuana or grow up to six personal plants. When growing, only three of the plants can be mature at a given time. Adults may also transfer up to an ounce of weed to another adult, so long as “no money, goods, or services are exchanged.” Paraphernalia may be on a person so long as it is associated with no more than one ounce of cannabis. Adults over 21 are permitted to consume marijuana on private property only.

The law relies on a single phrase: “Home grow; home use.” Consuming marijuana in public spaces or on federal property will result in a penalty of up to $100 in fines. Smoking in a parked car can still result in a DUI, which could result in arrest. Discretion is key to marijuana use in D.C.”
