Washington DC: Decriminalization Bill Becomes Law, Heads to Congress


Marijuana has officially been decriminalized in Washington D.C. Last week, Mayor Vincent Gray signed a bill into law that would make possession of up to an ounce of weed a civil infraction with a fine of $25.

“This is a victory for the District and a victory for justice," said Council member Tommy Wells. "This bill is a tremendous stride to end the disproportionate sociological and economic impact of marijuana arrests on African Americans -- arrests that pull families apart and keep our residents from jobs, higher education and housing opportunities."

The measure must now go before Congress for a 60-days review process
