    During the 2014 Election, an overwhelming majority of Washington D.C. voters approved marijuana legalization. It was the most resounding marijuana legalization victory on an Election Day to date. The final tally was 70.1% ‘yes' votes to 29.9% ‘no' votes. The initiative provides for (21 years or older) the legal possession of up to two ounces, the cultivation of up to six plants within a person's principal residence, transfer for no consideration of up to one ounce of marijuana, and the use of paraphernalia for the use, cultivation, or processing of marijuana.
    The DC Council then put the ball in Congress' court by sending to Congress the Initiative for a congressional review period, which has a deadline. If Congress fails to act, which it appears that they won't, marijuana legalization will take
    effect in Washington D.C after2/26/15
