The Nation's Capital Could Legalize Marijuana in November

D.C. residents will vote in November on whether to legalize marijuana use in the nation’s capital after elections officials decided Wednesday to place the question on the ballot.

The three-member D.C. Board of Elections voted unanimously Wednesday morning to approve the ballot initiative, certifying that activists gathered the tens of thousands of voter signatures necessary to qualify for the Nov. 4 general election ballot.

Several of those activists attended Wednesday’s meeting and cheered the vote, which moves the District closer to joining Colorado and Washington as the only places in the nation where marijuana possession and cultivation are fully legal.

I guess this means that you don't have to be drug tested to get a Government job. And why don't people in Congress get drug tested. Something is going on because they can't be as dumb as they act.

If you want less government in personal lives you have to support this.

Congress will still be in the driver's seat. They can vote to their little heart's content but Congress still determines what the rules are for D.C., just as planned way back when.
