[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But this whole “gift” thing does not follow the spirit of the law:

- the law was passed with the intent to stop marijuana distribution in the District.[/quote]

Funny thing about the "spirit of the law": it only goes one way. If you have violated the letter of the law, a prosecutor or judge can decide you didn't violate the spirit and give you leniency. However, if you complied with the letter of the law they can't prosecute you anyway, you complied with the law. [/quote]

The "gifts," while I have no problem with the sale and use of marijuana, do in fact violate both the spirit and the letter of the law.  If DC cared to arrest and prosecute (which thankfully they don't) no judge in the world would accept the argument that paying $50 for a 50 cent comic book and getting $50 worth of weed in return is a "gift."  Something isn't a gift just because you say it is.  If that was the case, selling anything would be de facto legal - oh hey, you bought a $100 condom and you're getting free sex as a gift! Nothing illegal about getting free sex!  [/quote]
