Thats a big change in the citys pot law, and as tom sherwood reports, it comes with a lot of confusion. Reporter the pot law at midnight thursday would allow personal possession of three Marijuana Plants and up to two ounces of marijuana for use in private homes for those over 21. But not in public. It not legal to smoke marijuana in public. Reporter city leaders are warning in the Nations Capital even simple possession will still be a federal crime on federal property. That includes congressional lands, federal buildings, and federal parks and traffic circles patrolled by park police. Even some sidewalks are federal lands. For example, if you have two ounces of marijuana on your person on pennsylvania avenue and youre not smoking, thats perfectly legal. But if you step on the sidewalk along pennsylvania avenue thats u. S. Park Service Property and you could be arrested. Ward two Council Member jack evans notes it will also still be illegal to buy or sell marijuana.

Some in congress have complained about the law, but theres been no new effort to block it. One thing folks need to keep in mind is that the district is acting consistent with the trend in other states. Reporter its unclear if congress will act to block the law this week. The city is publicly assuming that it wont. Members of congress are actually going to discuss this tomorrow morning but theres been no move the try to block it this year. Seems ridiculous. Shouldnt we have figured out how this works before it is enacted, before the law becomes law . The District Of Columbia every law was subject to congressional review and change on any number of levels. Last year the Congress Passed a saw that says the city could not enact the Marijuana Law that was now going into effect thursday. But the city said were not enacting it. The voters enacted it back in november. Were just implementing the law. I hear that. What im saying enable whatever the case maine, but shouldnt there be guidelines shouldnt there be some rules, shouldnt people know what you just said you stood in the middle of pennsylvania and its legal to hold it. You step on the sidewalk its illegal. How is anybody going to know . How are the police going to know . The police will be briefed on what the thaw laue will mean. The mayor will try to get the word out in the next 48 72 hours. But it goes to show when the congress acted last year it prohibited the city from creating a new law that would regulate and even tax marijuana. So the congress acted to stop in the implementation of the law except for the law going into effect itself. Weve been warning about this for a couple weeks. Its confusing. Wait till thursday night.
