another american city on the verge of decriminalizing marijuana. guess what? this time right here in the nation's capital. let's bring in our regulation correspondent renee marsh. >> marijuana, as you know, still illegal under federal law, and a criminal offense in d.c., but council members in the nation's capital are pushing for leniency, for people caught with it. right now possession of an ounce or less of marijuana in the district means six months in jail and a $1,000 penalty but if tommy wells and marion berry have it their way, punishment would be reduced to a $25 to $100 time with no jail time. mayor vincent gray supports the proposal. decriminalizing the drug in the federal government's backyard, well, i spoke with one of the councilmen who is proposing just that. take a listen.
