Top Republican defends blocking legal pot in D.C.

In November, 65 percent of D.C. voters approved a ballot measure to legalize marijuana possession. In December, Congress blocked its implementation.

“We may very well head to the courts. But we did pass a law. The President signed it. And it prohibits this so I think we have dealt with it. Some legal folks in the city of Washington, D.C. may beg to differ, but I think we’ve been crystal clear,” Chaffetz said. “You haven’t heard the end of it. It will come back again.”
