Washington D.C. set to put marijuana legalization on ballot

[Styx]

4. interesting to see how this shakes out.

Here in California, I've seen federal agencies come after our medical dispensaries hard, under both Pres. Bush and Pres. Obama. They haven't managed to curtail it much, but they have back-door taxed the Hell out of it through seizures. Apparently they object to the dispensaries paying a nice cut to the State, but not to the Fed. They want to outlaw it and tax it, both, lol.

ETA: I'm new here and not familiar with all the rules and practices yet, but shouldn't this be in the "drug policy" section? Not a criticism, is honest question to which I don't know the answer, and I'm trying to learn so I don't put a foot wrong through ignorance.
