Did Rep. Andy Harris inadvertently legalize marijuana possession in D.C.?

12. But this is the course of the action anyway

Congress rarely tries to interfere - though they did with medical marijuana for a decade, by also refusing to fund that legislation.

What I want to know is, since Congress will have allowed D.C. to decriminalize marijuana, does this reality constitute unequal protection under the law.... i.e. Federal legislators are responsible for D.C. law by the way the Constitution works out D.C. non-statehood, so any law is approved by Congress.

They are subjecting the rest of the nation to federal law that criminalizes marijuana, however, so this is a violation of the 14th amendment's equal protection clause.

Or so one lawyer has claimed.

I'm looking forward to a lawsuit if Congress doesn't act on its own to address federal level criminalization.

But the current legislative examination of the scheduling of marijuana may be part of this, as a longer term issue.
