Why isn't marijuana at least regulated even a little bit in DC

Because your discomfort isn't worth the police and justice system resources to enforce. Nobody said you had to like it, just deal with it.

You do realize that this attitude is why DC is going to sh*t right. So for you zero middle ground? No way to comprehend the difference between being ok with legalizing marijuana and not being ok with high zombies wondering around or driving around at 8 am, which is what i observe on my walk to work every morning?

If the issue is impaired driving, I think we could start with drunk driving and driving while distracted by your phone or your car.

I’m still in awe that ANC 3F thought it might be a great idea to locate a marijuana dispensary across the street from UDC. Like, let’s try to derail a group marginalized kids at their last best chance to launch out of poverty. Just stunning the way the progressive mind thinks.

The old "we can only police one thing at a time" excuse.

That’s not the only issue. I’m ok with alcohol being legal. That doesn’t mean I’m ok with teachers at my kids school padding a forty or s fifth of vodka in the parking lot after a hard day, or drunk people crowding into the elevator with me on a weekday before noon, or drunk driving or drunks wandering around the city. Why don’t we see that as much - because despite alcohol being legal - other laws prohibit how and where alcohol can be consumed are generally enforced. DC has the same laws to regulate marijuana but like most other crimes lately they are not enforced. So in your world that makes me an uptight ninny? Um ok.

I would too if I have to deal with the parents.

OP here. Thank you - you said what I was trying to say, but more clearly.

Just because they consume cannabis doesn't mean they're stupid.

Sounds like your beef is with MPD for not enforcing the law and not the DC Council.

I earned four university degrees including a law degree from a T-15 school, which I chose over a number of T-10 schools that accepted me because I wanted to be in DC. My life has been generally successful although I have struggled with PTSD from childhood with abusive alcoholic father and enabling abusive mother. Cannabis has never caused me any significant issues, including the super good stuff I can get at the dispensary down the street these last few years since we legalized.

I was a prosecutor and defense attorney for years and I can count on one hand the number of cases I had involving cannabis and violence - and those involved a mixed intoxication of alcohol, not just cannabis. From my own life and professional experiences and years of reading the research, I know without doubt that the truly great evil in our society is ALCOHOL, period.

Anyway, there ARE laws regulating cannabis use in DC, so the OP and others here are engaging in disinformation. https://drugfreeyouthdc.com/dc-laws/marijuana/#:~:text=It's%20illegal%20to%20consume%20marijuana,jail%20or%20a%20%24500%20fine.

What is a T15 Law School? Foes that mean you got into the number 15 school? Does a Yale law school grad say "I went to a T15 school"

Talk about trying to compensate for something. Must be the pot talking.

You bet! On what basis do you think I should feel shame for that? I’m not a criminal so you can just mind your own business.

Already exists. It’s called vaping concentrates and these ninnies would just find some other reason to judge and disparage cannabis users. The main point is their hate for cannabis users. Their reasons change like the seasons but the consistent thread is their hate and disdain for anyone who likes cannabis.
