Yes, I want further legalization of marihuana in DC. I want to be able to buy it from whoever I want whenever I want. I also want renters to be able to consume in in their own homes regardless of whether they own, rent, or reside in public housing. If a business wants to open a smoking club, they should be able to.

So you would like the little babies in public housing (where cigarette smoking indoors is illegal) to breathe in pot smoke through the air vents and halls into their little pink lungs? You're a gem!

Little babies in public housing are already being fed unhealthy food, not getting enough sleep or exercise, etc., so it is obvious that their health is not a priority, so stop to with that line of argument.

I think adults should be able to do as they please in regards to marijuana, but I did not vote for the referendum because it was badly written and not well thought out (one ounce of weed is considered personal use and not a dealers stash?).

I am concerned this next one will be more of the same. Voters need to THINK before they vote.

So getting FREE housing means they are NOT a priority? What planet are you from?

Ridiculous. Who cares how much one has? It's marijuana. You don't care if someone has 16 kegs of beer in his house, do you?

I oppose legalization. In fact, I would support flogging of those who smoke pot in public or in multifamily housing. And jail anyone driving under the influence of pot, just like with alcohol.

Life is full of choices. If they can afford marijuana, shouldn't they be spending more on housing?

Alternatively they will be grappling with a growing population of perpetually stoned people being a nuisance and the long term health problems associated with heavy pot use. Between marijuana and opioids we will probably see an escalation of the homeless and begging population.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire....

I'm seeing a lot of litter on the streets in the District. Wouldn't it be good to put the homeless to work cleaning the streets? Train them and pay them of course, but they should do something useful.

DC now smells like pot, bottom line and nobody seems that interested in enforcing the rules as we agreed they be modified. Therefore, I will not be voting for any further loosening of the rules until those we have agreed upon are actually enforced. I have ZERO faith that DC will enforce the limited rules that would be required with a further loosening of Marijuana laws.

I personally do not smoke outside and would prefer that others avoid this as well. I also believe it is unnecessary to use police resources enforcing a trivial "crime" such as smoking marijuana in public. Whine about it to yourself and move on with your day.

Some folks were smoking marijuana outside our building last week. We asked them not to and they refused. So with the super's help we turned the hose on them. It's hard to smoke a soggy joint.

Times have changed since 1939. For the old fogies stuck in the past there are still one or two states left you can move to if you don't like it.
