Here's how Congressional appropriators themselves describe the news:
Removing Special Restrictions on the District of Columbia:...Also allows the District to implement a referendum on use of marijuana for medical purposes as has been done in other states, allows use of Federal funds for needle exchange programs except in locations considered inappropriate by District authorities...

Well then. Good news i suppose.

MJ's out, abortions are in.

Nowadays, the main beef in Congress is federal money for abortions.  MJ is yesterday's chuck roast.

Medical Maryjane? On my east coast?

no fucking way!

[East Coast Hustle]

Maine has had legal medical marijuana for years. This year they voted to allow dispensaries, without which a medical marijuana law was kind of pointless.

though since you're from NY, Maine may not qualify as your east coast.

[Cramulus]

 

well I'm from CT, and certainly don't identify with NY.

Yo I heard last night that in CA, Snoop Dogg is a licensed medical mary jane distributor. So you can actually buy weed from snoop dogg?? that's fucking classic

[East Coast Hustle]

no shit? I'm probably headed down to LA sometime this winter. you got a link or anything that might help direct me to Snoop's store?

[Cramulus]

damn - not finding anything 

great rumor though

[Cain]

I've found it reported in a few places, but no actual link to any store or anything.

one good place to go in LA (there are lots) is a place called green earth collective.

yay for DC but I'll be happier when the entire US wakes up and legalizes possession of glass pipes too. (http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=8012)

?

There may be some local prohibitions, as appears was formerly the case in Breckenridge, CO, but for the most part, my understanding is that the possession of pipes, papers and assorted paraphernalia isn't illegal, provided it's for tobacco use only. Otherwise we wouldn't have head shops, along with miscellaneous convenience stores selling the same.

Of course, selling such materials can give the police a good reason to [want to] raid your business, but generally the simple possession of pipes isn't illegal, to my knowledge. Unless I'm wrong and there are alotta stores over here selling illegal shit.

Glass pipes are legal. That's why you can buy them in liscenced stores. It's only if they've got pot in them that you're fucked. 

Mistress Freeky,
Has a pretty glass pipe she bought from a shop.

[East Coast Hustle]

yeah, glass pipes are perfectly legal unless they've been used by you goddamn dope-smokers.

ECH,
only takes big rips of tobacco through his bong

That's because we're in Arizona, where everything is legal except people.

Yes.

Although technically, MY pipe would get me in trouble cuz of sillyness that I partook of years ago. Or the ex would get in trouble rather, as it's over at the apartment still.

[maphdet]

Progress? maybe.

I also heard that teh feds can no longer have jurisdiction in the states' decision to allow legal pot.
Or something like that.

Personally, I think-the only reason pot is not legal is because it would be almost impossible to conduct a dui charge against someone who's been smokin.
There really isn't a breathalyser for pot smoking.

* doesn't think pot is all that bad*
except for the eating part of course.
