Oh that tricky-dicky Congress. They are just full of solutions, aren’t they.

That’s why the USA has a dictator now.

Defund DC dope but keep illegals’ bene cash and keep 0bamacare.

The push against legal marijuana in D.C., is led by Rep. Andy Harris, a Maryland Republican who inserted an even stricter provision into the omnibus spending bill that lawmakers are racing to complete before the holidays.

It seems that the entire Maryland Congressional delegation consists of statists.

Maryland "Freak State" PING!

Why does a pot initiative need funding in the first place?

[gdani]

So much for small government & being pro-business.

The biggest question, and the one NOBODY is asking, is: Why does DC have a population, businesses, OR a city council to begin with?

It is supposed to be a Federal District, controlled by Congress,with the sole purpose of housing the machinery of the Federal Government.

As far as I’m concerned, the only people “living” in DC should be Congress members, SC Justices, and the very top Executive branch people. Goobermint employees and the slum dwellers ought to be living in Maryland or Virginia.

Marijuana ought to be, not only legal but mandatory in DC. Keep those commies stoned and confused, I mean, more so.

[ConservingFreedom]

The measure does not overturn the results of [...] the legalization referendum [...], but it strips any local funding for oversight and regulation of legal pot sales.

So does that mean that under DC law, pot in DC will be an unregulated laissez faire market? Is that what Rep. Harris intended?
