D.C. Legalizes Marijuana: Now What?

Voters in Washington, D.C. passed Initiative 71 during November elections, allowing D.C. residents who are 21 or older to posses and grow small amounts of marijuana. The initiative now will go through a 30-day period of review in Congress. In the meantime, Christopher A. Bracey, Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, interviewed with GW Today to explain Initiative 71, its impact on D.C. residents, and the challenges of reconciling federal and state marijuana laws.
