In ten years marijuana prohibition is going to look even more ridiculous than alcohol prohibition looks now. Future generations are going to look back and wonder what we were thinking. Or smoking.

Yes, everybody is coming to DC to buy weeds though it is not legal, so we might as well making the selling legal for
(1) tax revenue
(2) quality control for safety

Heck no. Decriminalize sure but I’m already considering moving out of the city because of the constant weed smoke in my building. It’s awful. I don’t want us to become SF.

Yeah , but have also heard less positive side effects there.
I'd like to see the city enforced the current highly relaxed.rules before relaxing further. And no to smoking, cigarette or other, in public housing. Children have to breathe that air.

What have you heard?


I would have more faith in moving further to city control of this "industry" if they qcknowledged unintended consequences occurring now, and responded to them. That would prove to me they could handle those that might occur later.. If they cant enforce people smoking privately and ticket those smoking publicly (as the referendum was written) how can they really be in charge of anything more?

Because of the nature of DC or based on what other states have done?

What about vaping and edibles?

The district should get tax revenue from the booming pot trade happening in DC.

Enforcement of smoking in public is separate.

DC cops have been putting 9 year olds in handcuffs so not sure how we can expect them to do anything properly but that's another issue, too.

According to this article, the referendum we passed was to allow adults to "privately" use marijuana, which anecdotal evidence confirms they are not. They are publicly blowing it in everyone's faces (including children) all.over our city. Now our Mayor wants further control over the marijuana game. IMO she has not shown any will to effectively implement the current laws and desires of the citizenry - and so does not deserve even higher level of responsibility and enforcement. Meanwhile, delegate for life Holmes Norton wants marijuana to be smoked in public housing (where cigarette smoking is illegal indoors). Marijuana smoke has much higher levels of toxicity. How will this work for childrens lung's as it seeps through the vents?
