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

Because they need funding to even tell you hello.

Because the referendum didn't simply repeal all marijuana laws-- it's still illegal to sell to minors, for example--but instead created a mechanism for licensing and regulating pot sales to adults.

Oregon just took up its’ first funding of legal pot. Gotta get OLiquorControl Commission to work figuring out how to dot i’s and cross t’s.

Yes, it would seem as though DC could raise their own funds to supervise it themselves. I hope that they can.

Nonetheless, this is a Nanny State attempt to stop DC from following the will of its own people. Such shenanigans are why I believe DC, Puerto Rico/Virgin Islands and Guam/Pacific territories should have actual voting representation in the House — not the Senate, though, since they aren’t states - since their people have to live under Congress’s stupidity, too.
