Should the federal government have the right to say what laws we can pass here in DC?
You and I have been working together to help our city gain control over its own drug policy, and we're making progress!
Still, the District of Columbia can't fully make its own rules when it comes to things like medical marijuana or khat, a plant used as a mild stimulant, similar to coffee, among some of our African communities here.
If the council passes the resolution now, we can have a stronger impact on the part of the federal budget that concerns our city and our rights, and the budget will be finalized soon.
