Kush Gods
Kush Gods is a company based in Washington, D.C., which distributes cannabis. The company leverages a gray area in the DC cannabis law under which it is legal to gift and consume cannabis, but not to sell it. The company accepts donations from customers, who are generally rewarded with edible or herbal cannabis. The company was founded in 2015 by Nicholas Paul Cunningham.[1]
Cunninham and an employee were arrested by Metro Police in 2015 and charged with misdemeanor distribution of marijuana. He argued in his defense that he had not violated laws against sale, but was gifting the cannabis.[2] In 2016 Cunningham pleaded guilty to two counts of selling cannabis to an undercover officer, and was given 180 days in jail (which were suspended) and two years' probation.[3]
