Penalty Details
While District of Columbia residents have passed Initiative 71 legalizing the possession and home cultivation of marijuana for personal use under DC law, those provisions only apply when one is on DC property; not federal property. (Federal land comprises 18 square miles within the District of Columbia.)
Marijuana possession remains a federal offense, and the federal law applies to offenses committed on federal property, which includes the Capitol grounds and the mall within DC, as well as all national parks and military property nationwide, and other land under federal control.
Federal law also applies to offenses involving interstate commerce and importation from other countries.

(2,120 posts)5. Gee, who would have thought?
... that an asshole from Alabama named after the fucking worthless traitor Jefferson Davis would go after harmless marijuana users like me (if God didn't want us to smoke, he wouldn't have made the plant!) who might actually need to switch to pot because they drink too much (thanks Trump!)
FUCK THOSE ASSHOLES. And FUCK anyone who voted for these steaming turds.
