xlent question. it does put the congress in a bit of a pickle, eh? :jointsmile: I believe they ok'd the DC inititative but, yes, they are basically giving the red light to break their own laws. :stoned: that is the beauty of this inititative. the people of DC have spoken and the congress had two choices, tell the voters of DC their votes mean nothing or give them ok to break federal law. i love it. :rastasmoke: I think the congress did give them the ok, many years after the fact, but better now than never I guess.
