    Who the Fu*K makes the laws in DC? Im pretty sure its the US congress, correct me if I'm wrong. Also im pretty sure they have a part in keeping Medical marijuana federally illegal. Either I have no clue what I'm talking about, or the US congress is a bunch of morons.

    From wikipedia
    The District is governed by a locally elected mayor and 13-member city council. However, the United States Congress has supreme authority over the city and may overturn local laws. Residents therefore have less self-governance than residents of the U.S. states. The District has a non-voting, at-large Congressional delegate, but no senators. D.C. residents could not vote in presidential elections until the ratification of the Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1961.

    So its not quite like any other state. They're governed by a council, but congress has the right to overturn any local law. OP makes a decent point, its extremely hypocritical for them to disallow MMJ around the country, but not in their own neighborhood
