Republicans controlled on Congress fights with D.C Mayor Muriel Bowser's Initiative 71


The Washington Post opinion, the Editorial board wrote a critique of Congress should allow D.C.'s marijuana legalization to be stand. The editorials board strongly agreed with D.C. marijuana legalization.

Republicans controlled on Congress should not interfere with the District in Washington, D.C. for marijuana legalization. It is a vote to legalize the marijuana law for justice; According to young African Americans are more likely than White men to be highly arrested, and it related to marijuana crimes. Reports shown that it may caused the black communities due the loss of jobs, homes, and also the inability of attend schools, and voting rights. Eventually,In a February 26th  D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser excitedly declared to legalize the marijuana to reduce penalties for marijuana, and allow residents in Washington D.C. age twenty-one to possess no more than two ounces of cannabis for personal use, and to grow up only six plants.

Congress may dispute the marijuana legalization because of Federal Marijuana Prohibition act almost ninety years. Congress who disagreed this Initiative 71, and involved in  charging D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to be overthrown in jail for violation of the law, and quickly consisted to find a way to pervert Initiative 71. Congress should carefully consider how they would woefully interfere locals in D.C. by perverting the initiative 71.

I strongly agreed with D.C. mayor moved forward to declare the legalization in D.C. for the communities, and made a program for the marijuana legalization without Congress's help, and the will of Congress. It meant Congress would not fund the District for marijuana legalization unfortunately. Then the Districts should be develop a self-government instead of relying on Congress; They needs to be demonstrative for the rights, and justice.
