Members of Congress are reportedly poised erect a significant barrier to Washington, D.C.’s blueprint for legalizing recreational pot, tucking a provision into the federal budget via their extraordinary power to govern the District of Columbia.
Sources told the National Journal Tuesday that the budget measure agreed to by both Republicans and Democrats would thwart the D.C. Council from passing any measures to tax and regulate pot, by banning it from using its funds toward that end.
The budget item would not affect the ballot initiative overwhelmingly passed by D.C. residents in November. But make no mistake. The agreement congressional members reportedly reached today is a move to block legalization, nothing less.
