As expected voters in Washington D.C. have approved legal marijuana. The initiative to make possessing and growing marijuana plants legal in the nation’s capital was leading 65 percent to 29 percent … enough for news organizations to call it a win (http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/11/04/361533318/marijuana-on-the-ballot-d-c-voters-ok-legalization).
The D.C. ballot initiative (http://dcmj.org):

… allows adults over the age of 21 to possess up to two ounces of marijuana, give (but not sell) up to one ounce of marijuana to other adults, and cultivate up to three mature marijuana plants at home. If successful, the bill will be transmitted to Congress for a mandatory review period after lawmakers convene again in January. Without interference, the bill’s provisions could go into effect as soon as April 2015.
