This is your hippy dippy reporter reminding you that Washington D.C. voters overwhelmingly voted to legalize recreational marijuana for adults. The measure to legalize weed was supported by almost 70% of the voters. This makes it legal for those 21 and older, to grow and possess marijuana, but not sell it. Like that ain’t going to happen.
Yes, I know that Alaska and Oregon also passed similar measures, but those allow sales and open the door to more taxes. Perhaps in D.C. they don’t need taxes because they are sucking so much from the rest of the country. Not! Taxes will follow in the blink of an eye. Or, they may just charge a fee or require a permit. Those are not taxes - right?
In defense of what I would term ‘stupidity’, it may be the only way that the residents can stomach what government does, since they are so close to the White House.
It will be interesting to watch how the drug dealers are going to deal with State governments taking over their business. These can be some ruthless people using any means or methods to grab money and power.
Oops. I slipped back to talking about government.
